It took me quite a while to understand that ... because it's so deep and so profound. Were you able to follow it ... or should I try to explain it further?

Okay, i need a little bit more explanation. I have often heard "he just wasnt himself". Can you help me understand what that means? Every time he loses, "he just wasnt himself" and when he wins "that was the real fog".
So what happened here? Can we possibly assign some Freudian logic to the case of this emotionally troubled horse.
Do you think that maybe he suffers from feelings of inadequeacy as the result of feelings of abandonment caused by being taken from his mother too early?
Do you think that maybe he doesnt feel loved and that in turn makes him feel like he is not good enough to be "the real fog" all of the time?
Do you think that maybe he is being resentful towards his trainer because he wanted an extra mint before the race and decides to throw in the towel to show him who is the real boss?
What do you think?
