13. The more I learned to handicap the worse got at picking winners. Until I got my system.

Years ago I was the sous chef at Keeneland and I would take a mutuals clerk lady a sandwich or a dinner. She would mark my program. Her husband marked hers. He was a writer for The Daily Racing Form. Won a lot of money for a few years, he was good at picking horses that paid well. I have a couple of friend that are turf touting straight up gamblers that would study and watch work outs. They could never understand how I could beat them. I told them I took the jockeys soup.
Those folks are gone now. It was fun times.
