“I was a beginner. I didn’t get too far into that,” Travis continued. “I just wanted to f—-ing put the money that I brought in there and throw it down on like one horse and just get f—-ing pumped if that thing was even close. And sure enough, coming around that corner, you see that thing … come up."
