Does horse racing define you?

This is such a great topic....

I guess if you were to ask people who know me best to pick a word they would associate most with me it would be "horseracing" or "fitness" so I guess that means something.

Horseracing not only brought wonderful people into my life but has made me challange myself in several ways. Once I became a racing fan there was this whole new world that I was introduced to and it was interesting...There are so many dynamics to the sport, from pedigrees, to handicapping to purely being captivated by the beauty of equine in front of you. Highs and Lows...I wanted to learn everything about everything. It's not an easy thing for a young woman to leave behind her job and try something new to discover what it is she wants in life, but if it wasn't for my love of racing, I would have not done this a few years ago. And although I did not stay living in Kentucky doing what I was doing, I learned that if I want something bad enough I can achieve it.

So maybe one thing can never define you, but it can enhance the person you are.

Define? no to me it's a damn drug A old trainer said to me it's like heroin once its in your blood thats it your doomed for life !!! Wow where to start live, sleep ,race & breed & even dream about the damn things !!!. Come from a non horse background never even bothered with horses until i met & married a jockey now she's teaching the youngsters & wants nothing to do with horses & im full on !!! ,I breed them but to me there is nothing better than watching a horse you have trained flashing past the winning post.
There are so many lows in this buisness that if you take to heart you will never make it but for all the downs when you pull out of the crap & get that rare (belivie me it is rare with the big trainers swallowing everything)
win there is nothing better. Oh well you do get the vidieo to watch over & over
