Understand and realize that you'll never know everything.  The day you think you do - sell.
To me, I have found it to be equally important to understand the other owners and trainers, specifically their patterns, their financial means, etc, as it is to know the horses.  
Also important - keep your expectations in check and understand that the horse you just paid $10k for a minute ago, might not be worth $10k now.  Sometimes the best hop is a drop. 
Hope you have a lot of luck and even more fun!!
