Equine,
Don Scott cashed in his own chips. What possible motive would bookmakers have for saying he killed himself if he didn't and since when has the NSW Bookmakers Association had a mole in the Coroners Court?

His ideas were formulated in the 50's from stuff he read about Pittsburgh Phil who was a big punter in the early 20th Century in the USA. Don had no use for or knowledge of times,pace,speed maps or sectionals.

He was one dimentional, had his glory years then fell in a heap when other punters and bookmakers got their markets "more correct" than his. He tried betting in Melbourne and failed, flogged countless rehashes of his books and died broke.

His probated will which is a public document is testimony.
