Here's the link to the full Hollywood Reporter story. It's a really riveting read. And really depressing.

The Santa Anita folks quoted paint him as some sort of gambling savant.

Yeah, but I thought his colleague put it really well:

"David was really good at handicapping — he was very, very good at picking winners," he says. "With such a complex mind, he could do these exotic bets. But it's what holds every gambler back: In the end, you do it too much."

Sounds like he was incapable of passing a race.
