He was a white horse. Not officially white. He was gray, but he was almost white. It was unbelievably popular in Arkansas where I grew up. His name was Barbizon Streak. He even had a great name. He was an Arkansas bred horse who loved to win. After he retired, I went to see him at the farm in Arkansas and would feed him carrots from time to time. I got pictures of him on my office wall.
Yeah, Barbizon Streak. That's pretty incredible.
Well, I was through a friend of a friend. I met the guy who actually was doing the picks for a long time for a newspaper in Arkansas called the Arkansas Gazette. It was the oldest newspaper west of the Mississippi, believe it or not. And it was a chore to type all the stuff in and make the comments on all the horses and all that.
So he paid me $20 a week for a friend of a friend, even though I didn't know how to type, on an old manual typewriter to do all the entries for him every day. And I did speed figures back then. I was a pretty sharp handicapper, even as a 12-year-old. I was a numbers kid. And I noticed that he was not a very good handicapper.
And so I started changing some of his picks very judiciously, very, you know, and I would tell him, I said, hey, Don, that was cocky, you know, cocky ass 12 year old kid. Who do I think I am? You know, I changed this pick. I think this horse is going to win. And like the first five or six I changed wound up winning.
And so he told me, he said, all right, kid, he said, why don't you make all the picks from now on? And they had a competition in the press box among all of the newspaper handicappers, $1,000 at the beginning of the meet. At the end of the meet, whoever picked the most winners, winner took all. He never won. He always got his $1,000 taken away. That year, he won his $1,000.
And so I kept doing it until I took it over myself in my own name when I was in college.
Okay.
Yeah. Yeah. In the early 90s, one of my best friends who was an attorney, worked with Hillary Clinton, actually, at a law firm in Little Rock, an insane gambler, a guy by the name of Dave Thomas. He and I went into a partnership playing the pick six game. which was really huge back then.
At one point, we had the highest payoffs ever recorded in the state of Louisiana and the state of Oklahoma simultaneously. We had a $500,000 pick-six at Louisiana Downs and almost a $400,000 pick-six at Remington Park in Oklahoma and some other places. Slightly smaller pick sixes as well. Yeah. That's a pretty good day. That was back in the day when the pick six was just really hellacious to play.
Holy shit. What was the price of those tickets? The first one was $15,000. And the second one in Oklahoma, we actually played two tickets. One of them was like about a $5,000 or $6,000 ticket, but the one we hit it on was like a $27 ticket. No way. Oh, my God. Holy shit. What did you do to celebrate? We took everybody in the press box out to dinner.
Like that's insane. Something like that. We had a couple of long shots that we liked that we thought had a chance that we didn't put on the main ticket. And so we played the ancillary ticket and single those two long shots and they both wound up winning. And then the rest of them were, you know, logical top two kind of picks. So yeah. That's insane. That's great.
All right, guys. I'll be ready for you. Take care.
Thank you.
