I actually met Ainslie very late in his career. Very gracious man.

Tom Ainslie...from his Complete guide to Thoroughbred Racing:
"If your mail resembles mine, then it often includes intriguing correspondence from persons unknown...who are promising to grant you untold riches in exchange for a scant $20 bill. They have discovered handicapping systems, they say, which are able to unearth longshot winners after only five minutes of 'work'...and they would like to share their good fortune with you. Five minutes and you get a longshot. Five months...and you get an eviction notice."
How can you not like this guy?
