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!!
