My nextdoor neighbors dad was a mutual clerk in so cal. When we were in jr high we would handicap the daily double on sat am and do a couple of criss cross doubles. Then we would screw around till the Bill Garr daily double show would come on am radio and we would listen to the stretch calls. It was so addicting, buying that racing form for $1.25 and just trying to figure out the puzzle in front of us. No beyer numbers, trip quotes, heck they didnt even have fractions in the form. Had to put the post positions in, write the jockeys name, damn were spoiled now.. THis was the late 70's..Weve come along way baby!
