Sorry to hear about the rough and tough days. It certainly ain't easy making a living playing the horses.

LOL. I remember years ago, a friend of mine (a professional, one of the maybe 10 or so guys I personally know who make a living playing the horses) and me were sitting in the track kitchen at the Meadowlands. We were talking about being a professional, the life, etc. Anyway, this guy, even when he was in a slump, not doing well, etc. -- he always maintained an "even" demeanor. So, we're sitting there and he said something about how it's so very different (how you view, treat, respect, etc. money when it's your livlihood -- as opposed to it not being your real living). He looks up and points to a sign that has been hanging in the kitchen for as long as I can remember. The sign says:

You can always eat your betting money . . . but you should never bet your eating money.

Seemed more thought provoking at the time, LOL.
