Does horse racing define you?

Hooves I understand but do you think it "defines" you? I mean you don't talk much here about being a father, husband, and coach, etc. Yet its obvious that you are a dad, a husband, and a coach because you just told us. A lot of us don't speak about the other facets of what makes us up and our other activities. I know some have felt comfortable telling us about the personal things in their lives right down to the letter. I'm not one of them. When I wanna talk about personal things I use the phone or maybe messenger or email. I'm not getting on those who do such things like discuss every thing in their life here, but I'm not one of them. I'm a little more guarded about posting specific details of my life on a message board. I think its tacky, but thats just my opinion. I think to truly begin to understand or define someone you have to know a whole lot more about their life than what you read here in most cases. I think that most think of this place as a place to discuss who they think will win a stakes race on Saturday, not to discuss personal details of their family life and whats got them down or what they are battling.
