i think the late dick mitchell (?) said, "talent borrows, genius steals" so maybe you at least have talent.
how is your son doing with the car? hopefully better?
for all the talent here (people beating a brutal game while simultaneously having impressive knowledge of science, religion, politics,....) this can be a very negative place many days. sometimes so negative that i wonder if the horseplayer can ever overcome whatever demons that led him to the game? but that day everyone rallied around your son and wanted the best for him and if only for the moment, inspired a little hope in our breed.
