What did you learn this year?

[Bigsmc]

The ADW situation taught me that I am not as big a degenerate as I thought I was. It was quite easy for me to not gamble because the tracks I normally played were not available to me. I found other things to do this summer to keep me busy.

That should be scary to the industry.

I learned that the Fairgrounds has a really long stretch and I should have listened to FGfan.

Tin Cup Chalice going to Japan is not an example of staying conservative.

I believed my eyes when they told me he should not go.

Agreed . Prior to Japan . To be more precise . Pardon moi . Of course I tell myself every year to believe my eyes .

Do eyes improve with age ?

Another thing I have learned and got better at is I can cap a race, watch a race, and not bet on it. I use to think I had to bet every race. I'll only play one card at a time, I don't hop from one track to another, so I use to think I had to have action. Now, I'll have interest in a race without money on it which has allowed me to focus on races I feel strongly about, bet more on those races, and win more.

It only took 38 years playing the ponies to do this!
