He was asked what he learned as an owner that he didn't know as a handicapper, and he said that he "learned enough to give up serious gambling."

How do you bring in new people with statements like these?

You are right. Thats what happens when you put an ignorant person near a ignorant reporter and the other guy is just sooooooo smart and we are all idiots.
