Every once in a while I see a post that I completely disagree with.

I don't think anyone is right or wrong, just different ways of seeing the same thing, the same race.

Thoughts?

I really don't understand what you mean.

No, it's not all about winning for me when it comes to racing. I follow what I can, read books on the outside, handicap regularly, and love to do what I can to be a part of the game, but it's a game for me at this point. When I win, I'm riding high for sure, but when I lose at the windows I wake up the next day and nothing is different in my life. Usually I'm with good friends at the races, so a day losing in that environment is the price of entertainment.
