Hello from Bill V.

[Bill V.]

I want to thank all those who emailed or private messaged me
I am sorry for being so out of contact here at Pace and Cap.

I took a much needed break, from what was becoming all too important thing in my life. I was getting burnt out.

I needed to make some chances in my private life.
Horse racing and record keeping became a obsession.
I thought I wanted this, For as long as I remember,
from meeting Richie P to talking to Doc, to meeting and befriending Ted.
I had one dream.
That was to make handicapping with the Sartin Methodology my full time job. I have done this. But I wanted to do better.
I have always been a winner. because I did what Doc said to do and not do what he said not to do.
My new years goal 2 years ago was to improve my record keeping. I did
meet those goals, however I was doing too much too soon,
and I paid the price. I lived, ate slept (barely) thinking about factors that really had no value. I was just collecting data I won more but now I had nothing else.

I also had this silly dream to be able to say I hand entered more pace lines
into various Sartin programs than anybody else

You know what ? I probably have but It means nothing.
all those times I read the follow up and spoke to Doc was forgotten
I was just in love with numbers and my ego.

I could go on but really., plain and simply, one day I woke up and realized I had missed Doc's birthday - Oct 3rd- I was sure I was headed in the wrong direction
If I was so into record keeping and my database to miss this day
what else was I missing. ? I also realized I had no time to read or reply to post on pace and cap. I was a slave to the thing I love.

I have to run right now.
I miss what I really always wanted to be
I really just want to be a friend to those of us who use the Sartin Methodology.

I have a new life. Every day is a beautiful gift. Doc and The methodology will always be a part of it

I am very lucky to know you and be here.

Yours
Bill V.
