TROY – In the United Kingdom, the short money at betting parlors is going to a 64 year old Cardinal from Ghana with strong ties to the Capital Region, Peter Turkson.
“Peter Turkson is the red hot favorite,” said Rupert Adams of William Hill Bookmakers. “Interestingly, we put him in at five to one yesterday when the big announcement occurred. He’s been backed quite heavily, in from five to three to one, which would suggest that some people think that he’s a genuine contender.”
Peter Turkson studied for the priesthood at a seminary along the Hudson in Rensselaer.
The future Cardinal and possible Pope carried the word and lived his faith in places like Arbor Hill.
He’s continued to visit here, taking part in a service at Siena College last May.
