Do you take a few days or a week or so off from wagering with the anticipation of an upcoming meeting? I must be getting old because every year I look forward to taking off the last week or more of the Belmont Park Spring/Summer meeting for the anticpation of THE SPA!
In this time period I naturally prepare for the meet, but also give my brain a rest, so to speak, from handicapping and this process gets me relaxed and refreshed to be at my best for the entire meeting.
As a habit I usually start slow preferring to see how the track is playing for the first few races, and occasionally opening day...I sort of like my first wager to be a cashing situation LOL (how's that for corny).
Anyway I'd be interested if any other players have similar styles of waiting for the big meeting, where ever it takes place.
Good Luck
