Mike Francesa said something on his latest BetRivers podcast that made our ears perk up a bit.
The WFAN legend addressed the “horrific” breakdown of race horse Maple Leaf Mel last weekend in Saratoga. The horse, which had to be euthanized, is owned by former Giants and Jets coach Bill Parcells.
Francesa, also a horseman, acknowledged what he has discussed publicly in the past: He used to own thoroughbreds with Parcells* and their partnership ended after Parcells returned to town to coach Gang Green.
