He might have made them household names, but I highly doubt he was the first to ever recognize these patterns. He just found a way to make money by coining these terms.

For those keeping score at home be sure to add these to your list....


- Dixie discovered track bias

- He discovered " Ussary's Alley " for jockey Bobby Ussary ( and that thief took credit for it....should be known as " Dixie's Alley " ).


OMG!
