Is winning everything?
Is it all about winning or is it about competition?
Every once in a while I see a post that I completely disagree with. I don't think anyone is right or wrong, just different ways of seeing the same thing, the same race. Thoughts?

I think its def. all about winning, if i go to the track for the day and lose i never feel good. Maybe if it's a day of bad luck, bad trips, etc. i might feel a little better, almost like a bad beat in poker, but for the most park when you lose it sucks.

Depends on how much money you have. For trainers it is all about winning because if they don't win they may not eat. For wealthy owners it is part about winning and part hobby.

The only people who think competition is just as important as winning are the people who cannot win. If you arent getting into something to win, or be the best, why bother.

She's a nice horse.
It's the other 88 2-year-olds of his that don't look like much.

No, it's not all about winning for me when it comes to racing. I follow what I can, read books on the outside, handicap regularly, and love to do what I can to be a part of the game, but it's a game for me at this point. When I win, I'm riding high for sure, but when I lose at the windows I wake up the next day and nothing is different in my life. Usually I'm with good friends at the races, so a day losing in that environment is the price of entertainment.
