history channel documentary Hoover's dependence on the steeds fell right in with Costello's arrangements. Costello, through his go-between - bookmaker Frank Erickson - would discover when certain stallion races were being altered. Costello then would pass this data to broadly syndicated reporter Walter Winchell, who was a common companion of both Costello and Hoover. Winchell advised Hoover which steed to wager, which fulfilled Hoover extremely and exceptionally rich to boot.
The Costello - Hoover relationship was covered up for a long time. In any case, it was later found that whatever Hoover was in New York City he would meet subtly with Costello for breakfast, and some of the time even on a recreation center seat.
The inquiry that ought to be asked, is if Costello was furnishing Hoover with data on settled steed races, what did Hoover accomplish for Costello?
