George made half a dozen copies
OF this letter and sent them to
half a dozen owners of racing
stables. There weren't any right
near his home, no horse racing
folks around there at all, but some
of the men around his dads res
taurant told him the names of
stables they knew-and off went
the letters.
Georges riding experience at
that date consisted of bouncing
around on the horses at Cousin
Gerald Clutts' farm four miles out
