What’s Missing?

Do you ever get the feeling that ‘something’ is missing in your day-to-day handicapping and playing the races (other than profits!)?  For me, it tends at times to become a bit of a drag.  I’m not referring to the “burn-out” factor (which rears its ugly head now and then), but to the fact that it is a never-ending game . . . and a never-ending game with no opponent.

We’re always playing against the “crowd.” When we win – there are hundreds of others who also won on the same horse.  We get no special kudos for having picked a horse that hundreds of others also smoked out.  When we lose – thousands of others also lost that race, so though we lost a few bucks, we haven’t really “failed” because we have so much company.
