chance to overhaul him.
Picou, a Texan, kicked home his first winner, Border Sis, Jan. 13
at the New Orleans Fair Grounds. He walked away from the field
in the first half of the Lincoln Downs .meeting, topped the class at
Narragansett, Suffolk Downs and at the second session at Lincoln
Downs.
Picou has been so successful at Bowie that his mounts have been
priced down all out of proportion.
Bettors play him, regardless of the horse. The result is that he
rarely rides anything but a favorite, but he manages to get there first
with them.
He actually ran away with the meeting after a brilliant four-day
performance, triples for three days in a row and then four winners.

"He’s better than I ivas at the same stage,” says the modest Atkin-
son, who as an apprentice led every jockey in the land.
Picou gets his mounts off on top.
“I learned to do that riding quarter horses," he explains. "On
them, you can’t afford to get left.”
Another advantage enjoyed by Picou is given him by a tremendous
! pair of hands.
He broke in on small Texas tracks at 12, riding on Sundays while
i strengthening his hands behind a plow the rest ot the week.
His natural talent first'caught the eye of cattle rancher and small
stable owner Felix DeMary of Orange, Tex.
After Picou had hit his stride the past summer. Mrs. Isabel Dodge
Sloane’s Brookmeade Stable arranged for the rider's services at Bowie
i at an estimated cost of $?0(000 The deal paid off handsomely.
! After Bowie, it’s back to New Orleans for Ping Picou.
There he will rejoin Felix DeMary, the man who gave him his big
opportunity.
