I knew the late Dick Mitchell too. He used to tell me that the only reason he couldn't make "Rolls-Royce wages" at the track was because full-card simulcasting hadn't been implemented yet. We lost track of each other soon after that...and I just assumed that he made the transition to "professional horseplayer" status, since full-card simulcasting burst upon the scene a while later.
