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.
