Kenchar, I don't think there is any problems with your approach. It's obvious that you are serious about the business, and at the end of the day, if your investments has been profitable, who cares what others may think. After reading a lot of your posts, it seems you are very astute, and we could all learn some valuable insights. By the same token, not ever seeing a race live does seem a little harsh, and spending the day on your ace is not my go. I prefer to hear the thunder of the hooves, and debate about different conformations, and tactics with a buddy that has a similar passion. But then again, while both you and I don't mind checking out the Fillys, only I will leave the track with empty pockets, and stinking of horses!
