It's a big ask and ordinarily I wouldn't back a horse like this but I'm feeling brave and sometimes a trainer can get one ready ...it's rare but it does happen 😁

That's a shame .....but I get where your coming from ......I'm a professional chef in my day job and my biggest handicap is finding time to rate .....if I've been in a kitchen 10 hrs the last thing I wanna do is come home and rate so I do miss out sometimes ......
It's nice to win of course and I've had some fab wins but I rate and get involved purely for the enjoyment of "getting involved"....and that's the truth ....I love horses. ...Im in awe when I'm standing near the rails and I see them take off like they are flying  ....and their intelligence never fails to amaze me .....it's like doing a crossword ....I like the challenge of tackling a race and the money really is 2nd rated for me .....I very much get frustrated sometimes when I've spent an hour rating a race only for 3 donkeys to fill the places and my selections rolling in 6th and 9th ..lol ....but that's racing .....it's not personal .....it's just how it works  ....as soon as I've seen the result ..the race is forgotten ....and I move on to the next ....
Racing enlightens my life ....challenges me .....some people might find the tackling of a huge handicap daunting or really hard work but I find it soothing 😁....it helps me unwind and there's the social aspect too ...either going to races with friends or coming on the forum it's nice to connect and share thoughts and listen to people's points of views which never fails to fascinate me .....
I hope you find your mojo and stick with us 👍

Oh i will be sticking around here, i really like this forum it is full of grammar police wanna be farmers and pro chefs 🤭 🤣🤣 I know where you are coming from with your comments i felt and feel the same but rating has now become a grind and stopping the enjoyment so i am just dropping the spread sheets and with it the stakes and just going to have the occasional bet, i can't say for fun because it was always about a bit of fun with excitement chucked in.
