The Vinny Theresa book that you reference is titled "My Life In The Mafia." An excellent read. One of my favorite mob books. A part of it that has always stuck out in my mind was his telling about the horse racing business, the horse tracks, and how the mob would fix races and control certain jockeys and race tracks!
