Great comment RQ. As horseplayers we are often so fixated on our picks and results that we forget how frequently outcomes are affected by pure luck and how that luck tends to even out. We whine when our 12-1 shot gets bet down to 6-1 or less but happily run to the window and accept the payout as a matter of course when the real odds are double the morning line. We remember the tough beats for years but ignore the times when the stewards' decision went our way even if it probably shouldn't have. I'm as guilty of that as anyone.
