Since my brother passed away as well as another complication I’m currently enduring my son has said on a couple of occasions ‘Dad you don’t laugh much anymore’ to which I reply.
As sure as day follows night, nothing lasts forever, depression, bad times, bad losing runs are only temporary just as happiness, good times and winning runs are. Enjoy the good times when they are here and also keep going through the bad times because just around the corner either in the Lockinge or Queen Anne that beast of a horse that is Toronado will sure put a smile back on ones face.

In betting – for most of us depression is a possibility, not "inevitable".
Some things do make it more likely…
Compulsive gamblers – almost inevitable…
If betting when having little or no money or an overdraft – a probability…
If reading Woolfie and Prof – a certainty.

Value Is EverythingI’ve also packed the jumps in. I used to think it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I just cannot be bothered with the herculean effort and patience required. The thrill and magic of losing loads of money at Cheltenham while watching plots unfold that you never stood a chance with has long worn off. I allow others to get excited about that sort of thing now.
Bloody hell pass the Razor blade! You talk a lot of sense about Racing in general and we all know that 80% of it isn’t worth betting on but all the Big meetings of the year are there for the taking if you make the effort.The Royal Ascots,Glorious Goodwoods and York meetings are serious targets for Trainers as for complaining about the greatest of them all,Chelteham!
Prof , thing is you can enjoy the jumps big time , without spending a single penny at the bookies
I became so uncomfortable betting on it I stopped , but I never expected to enjoy it so much afterwards
Sit back turn on the racing channel and watch an afternoon’s jumping , its just fantastic entertainment , so much do you wont want to miss it
to hell with the betting ,just enjoy it

Lets hope we’re all there to see it on Lockinge day Nath.You may have lost your brother in prescence but his memory lives with you forever,sit back close your eyes and reminisce,shed a tear mate and let it out.Depression hits those who bottle things up and fight their emotions.I still think of me and my Father Golfing and Racing and amazing him every Cheltenham with my legendary wagers.We never forget those we Love,Never.

As I said, I look forward to all those meetings and I usually show a good profit at three of them. York can be tricky for me.
All I was trying to get across is that deflation if not depression, is inevitable and disappointment is the quintessence of the sport. This is sad because we have all had those periods that are like honey, when you ride high, can chew form up and spit out value. At last, we think, now we really have it sussed. Alas…
