I think most of us enjoy the intellectual part of racing and hopefully that helps to keep the dementia wolf away from our doors. It's like the old saying "use it or lose it." I don't know about anyone else, but it seems like there are few things that can sharpen the focus like gambling. Winning or losing, you are thinking of little else when you are engaged in it, but as some famous person once said, "moderation in all things."

Although too much moderation makes "Jack" a dull boy . . .
