Great research--and no I do not bet anymore on horses--not in the last five years. There is no mandate that one can not have an opinion on a horse without backing it up at the windows, even though you suppose it is true .

Are you fixing to bet me on something ???

I have backed it up at the window in the past, and I have gambled OUTSIDE of horseracing to the present--not that it is any of your business...

I do not consider gambling some big virtue, but I have gambled up to 5,000 bucks and the keys to my TVR--won both .

No big deal .

The very nature of my business is a gamble, and my return over 15 years is 300 percent, as is my lifetime return on playing the ponies from the day I put my allowance on Tim Tam in grade school .

Now piss off..

It's complicated and quite frankly I'm not in the mood for bird noises today.

Serious about what ???

If serious means true, then yes .

" Messing " with Hoss is subjective .. That was my answer to him .

You've got a point.

You won't get rich but the hedgehog fund is a niche market. Proper marketing and you can triple your earnings in 2 years easy. Of course, it helps if you can handle a few pricks now and then...which I'm sure you could.

If you have that type of ROI, you should be living well and living off horses.

One may have that type of ROI, but the original investment may make the return less impressive--just saying .

I would rather live ON a horse than off them ..
