This is what I know:

1. The ability to put up with being bored !@#$less while waiting out 3 races for the next selected race, after the first one lost. Don't go near the bookies until your next pick is about to race.


This is probably the best thing i have read on this site,, people just say discipline, but there are many points of it and none truer than this one. I have learned this the hard way!
