Andy Serling Dunce Cap

[jnunan4759]

I felt that way today.

What Andy has taught me is that there are going to be days like this where you feel like a dunce. If you are under 60, you may not remember this, but they used to make you sit in the corner with that hat on when you were stupid.

I remember going back years ago at Saratoga that Andy said "If this horse loses, I'll wear the dunce cap" and he always did.

Sure, we can always be wrong. Even if we bet chalk, we are only going to be right 30% of the time, 70% wrong.

If you are playing NY racing and you don't watch "Talking Horses", you are at a disadvantage. Andy always gives you "Food for Thought". Sometimes he has more questions than answers. And that is exactly the way things are.

Hell, sometimes I have more questions than answers. Most of the time.

So, I bet Tapwrit and Illiad. I need to borrow that Dunce Cap.

In horseracing, there is nothing wrong with being wrong. We've all done that quite a bit. It's those rare occurrences where we are correct that shape our lives.
