To me, it's not beating fellow cappers. Heck, I've put out lots of winners.
I do like savying out the puzzle, and it's not just the horses.
I find the people around them intriguing. Always full of hope.
Maybe that's what this world needs more of. Maybe that's what the Bowling Green folks were trying to find in their "study" of Oracle and his "followers".
Those that have convictions that come on strong (defend) are very interesting.
Psychological issues abound.
But, heck, we're all human.
That's the bottom line.
On a side note, think about paying a substantial stud fee and waiting eleven months just to see it born, tack on another two years just to see it hit the track.
Eat all the expenses in between (and there are plenty).
Talk about someone with hope...it just might be me cause that's what I do.
So...there are gamblers and then there are gamblers.
We each do so in our own ways.
