As Ace pitches his deal to buy a piece of the racetrack, Israel visits Smythe, DiRossi and Cohen onboard Smythe's yacht, where he's offered a "second salary" as an informant. An earthquake spooks many of the horses at Santa Anita, but Escalante decides to go ahead and race Mon Gateau. He and the Degenerates end up sweating the outcome when Leon bumps another horse in the stretch, triggering an official review. Rosie endures her own missteps in her race with Gettin'Up Morning, vexing Walter and inviting fresh scrutiny of the old trainer and his prized horse. Joey reaps an unlikely dividend from a neardeath experience, while Jo ponders an uncertain future with Escalante. Written by HBO Publicity
