I just said he was the greatest and he said, thank you sir, he went to the can and I went to the beer stand. I didn't know he was such a small man till I almost ran over him. I never researched his past, did he used to ride?

From his Wikipedia page, for what it's worth:
"A part-time jockey and exercise rider, he started as a race caller in his native South Africa in 1971 at age 18."
