Don't get discouraged, or stop believing in your self
I find that some time I put too much pressure on myself when I try to
be like my mentor. Think in terms of your success and build on that.

There is no law that says you have to bet 2 horses each race
Doc, very often made a small third horse bet. If your keeping track of all
your bets - a good idea- also write down your feelings after each bet.
This is a good tool, that will help you and its not hard to do.

Learn to See

" 1) Analyse the early part of the race. Evaluate the chances of the horse involved in that part of the scenario then disqualify runners who do not measure up.

2) Evaluate the Pressers in the race.Most often, a weak early pace picture strongly favours this type. They have first run at the leaders and must be given strong consideration.

3) Consider the closers in the race. In most races these are the least probable winners. Avoid closers that unable to reach a striking position by the stretch call. They are proven losers at every track in the country and only win with a complete collapse of the pace.

The former is simple. Unfortunately, most players have little organisation in the approach and often proceed too quickly to betting decisions. This procedure will give each type of runner it's proper due. It will also ensure an adequate understanding of the pace picture for the races you are about to bet. "

You guys are right. You need a short memory in this game.
I'm happy to have had that horse at all. I won't let it slip by next time.

Thanks for the advice
