I understand, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that where I get my winners from IS really the point - the ONLY point - to me personally.


Though no saint, at least I have always been brutally honest in admitting that I view everything in life through my own personal prism of self interest.


I have never felt, nor wanted to be, part of any "racing family," nor have I got any interest in cheering on "Team GB" at things like the Cheltenham Festival.


In fact, British racing could collapse altogether, and I would simply switch my focus even more to watching and betting on Irish racing, French racing American racing, whatever.


Because racing is a minority, niche, sport - and not mainstream like football - there has always been this expectation that anyone who is interested in racing will be a passionate ambassador for it to others, but I've never been remotely interested in rising to that unpaid challenge. 😂


In point of fact, despite all the talk of crisis, I've never enjoyed racing more than I do now and things like: the state of the breeding industry, the exodus of some of many quality Flat horses to Hong Kong, big owners drawing stumps and the dominance of the Irish at the Cheltenham Festival don't affect me, hence don't bother me, one bit.


I honestly can't remember a Cheltenham Festival I've enjoyed more than the one we've just had. 😊


But that's just me.
