AT THE TRACK
Around 1922 my dad went out to the Detroit track with $200 in his pocket and came home with $20,000, a fortune. That was a day all 8 races were fixed, but he was the only one of the insiders with nerve enough to bet amounts. (After all, a horse could break a leg or something.) But it ruined his morals. He was incurably cheerful after that.
