—————————————————
The Against All Odds podcast is a true story of one man’s ride through the tainted world of horse racing – a world riddled with greed, corruption, celebrities, drugs, sex and the Mob.
Larry Rolla was a talented, respected trainer who invented new ways to fix aging and injured racehorses. Despite his success, his demons and his association with the Mob both helped and destroyed his life. He was involved with every phase of Thoroughbred and Standardbred racing, seen it all and done it all, learned how to duck and dive and live through it all. He is a unique man whose past most would not survive. More importantly, he was an extremely compassionate guy who took people with damaged lives and helped them as well, if he could. He liked fixing things that needed fixing.

Nothing like a good Larry Rolla story on a wet Tuesday in Jersey .
Stay well guys, peace.
Fucking rednecks!
Odd that the potential murder of guy was met with silent indifference from the cohost but some gay dudes losing a fight made him upset.
Love your show but you guys need to back off with all the ads. It's starting to get annoying.
“Rolla’s Rednecks”
Larry did you know Russ Hartline, he was a standard breed horse trainer and had a barn in PA. I don't think they are in it anymore. They were friends of mine live near Reading PA.
larry great story cant wait to hear the rest great tease but Larry any good Jackie Mo storys i heard he was a sick gambler
There's no way in the world. Some. Michael Jackson impersonator was better than the real. Michael Jackson
Tell Jimmie it's called the notification. Bell. It notifies subscribers when a new video comes out
story by story…great stuff ,entertaining,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,LR great
I don't know why you would pick some kind of f**** redneck town to have a drag show. That whole f**** state is a bunch of rednecks
I just read the article of what really happened. Just google Larry Rolla and Female Impersonators. There's an article in the Orlando Sentinel. Larry went broke and a bunch of the performers did not get paid, including Gary. Man that Gary can't catch a break. Apparently he was a wonderful Joan Rivers impersonator with a lot of bad luck. First he gets the shit kicked out of him at a. Waffle House and then is paycheck bounces. Ouch! One of the performers listed in the article disputes Larry's claim that the place was sold out every night. Sometimes just 20 people showed up. Maybe the other 230 forgot they had tickets. That happened to me once for a Cure Concert. Anyways another great story by Larry that may or may not be true. I'm still trying to sort out the Stu Ungar controversy. You gotta love the idea that Larry dumped a million dollars (allegedly) in a place that he didn't own. They teach you to do that on the first day of business school.
These stories get better and better larry.
You've had one hell of a life amazing.
