There are success stories with some of the people who buy lottery tickets as well.

A lot of people who are given credit as having a shrewd eye for a horse are completely full of crap. Just listen to some of them talk and it's pretty apparent they are basically wanna-be psychics who know almost nothing about horse racing but are skilled enough at fooling the right kind of people.

Walter Vosburgh wrote a funny piece about a guy who was considered one of the most brilliant buyers of his day -- and he was completely ignorant to all the points of a horse and to pedigree.
