The Twin Horses

Soon they learn that Bill was a violent man and had tried to reconcile with his former girlfriend, the waitress Delinda LeCure. Then, Lisbon and Patrick visit the track where Bill worked, and they meet the owner Cob Howell and the jockey apprentice Sam Starks. Soon the find that the place gathers gamblers, con-artists, and Patrick plots a plan to catch the killer.
"The Red Ponies" is not among my favorite episodes of "The Mentalist". Fans of horse racing may like if more than I did. My vote is seven.
