Is it just me or...

Postby imnumberjuan » Wed Feb 20, 2008 6:10 pm

Is it just me or is there nothing like getting a win picture.

I have just come home from work, beaten down by the daily grind of working for the man (the eternal struggle of the Proletariat vs. the bourgeoisie continues, monday to friday 8 - 5, on call every third week) when I spot my mailbox.

Poking out of my mailbox is a large, bubble envelope with the flowery penmanship of my trainer in the required spaces. The burden that I carry in my day to day existence is lifted, I am reduced to a giddy school girl, while I mentally hear beethoven's Ode to Joy as I open it to find three win pictures, a statement and a cheque!

Now, I am off to go picture frame shopping.

Wilf....you've been doing it wrong!! You're supposed to CASH the check, not frame it! No wonder no one makes money in this business!

I totally agree, on a really bad day, there's nothing like pulling out a tape or replaying a TVG/HRTV taped race and remembering what it's like to have a win.

I must say the Portland meadows win pictures are fairly sharp looking.

Gerry,

I consider myself fortunate, I have been in on two horses now, and they have been fairly close to breaking even.
