Two part question.
In many Bukowski stories, he details various systems he used at the racetrack. Has anyone ever put any of his theories in effect at the racetrack? Some of the stories are very detailed and seem to be possible with the very little I know about racing. Besides a few harness races I've attended, I hardly know anything about the sport. But I am curious if anyone with experience would agree that his theories and systems had validity. The second part of my question is about the bookstore owner in L.A that he's mentioned in a few stories and poems. Red Stoldosky, or something similar. I know his first name was Red in the stories. The last name I'm stating from memory and probably is incorrect. I was wondering about this bookstore and if anyone had known the place or Red. Thanks guys and girls...
