Most definitely it was, but folks had LA Times delivered. It had entries and believe it was Bob Mieserski who made the picks, I was only about 9 years old at the time with a 18 year old brother. So my picks were just for fun but would listen nightly, little did he or my parents know that i would eventually be consumed with racing.
This was around the mid 70's, by 13 or 14 I was working part time in marketing department for Santa Anita. They hired local kids to man the stations on all the promotion days.
