    • Like you say brodie,Truthful comments can be both negative or positive. Why do some people only want to hear the positive truths?  Tabforever is actually focusing on the negative himself,instead of acknowledging there regularly have been ideas expressed on how to improve the sport or drive turnover or participation.. People like tabforever dismiss comments he thinks are negative as being given by keyboard warriors. we all know comments made on social media are  a reflection of whats going on inpeoples lives,whether it be in racing or in their lives outside racing,.All that can have a ripple effect sometimes on what people post.But racing is a big part of many lives,especially for many of those who comment on public forums about it. But,i think tabforever makes assumptions. Its what we all do.Whether hes right or not,or what he thinks i should or shouldn't do,i take no notice of. What i can say is,i help someone train a couple of horses each day. We use the money from that to pay for the care of our horses,which we see every day and which we enjoy interacting with.We see our horses as good for the mind and the soul,but of course there is a financial burden that comes with that. Will we ever breed again from our mares,probably not. In the back of your mind you want to,you say one day,but you realise that your not being realistic. Whether it be finacial,age,health are some factors. But how you perceive your type are being treated or valued by the industry,of course is a significant factor. When you talk to others ,you generally find they are saying and thinking the same thing. No ones looking for sympathy,its just the way things are. Its sad that industry leadership  do  more to encourage some sectors than others. Why can't they all be treated the same.But thats life.  I also feel i have knowledge of the gambling side of the imdustry. Many of the things i comment on are things that have  impacted us personally during our participation in the sport, or as relates to the gambling side of things. But ,its almost christmas day and the wifes not happy i'm still typing on bit of a yarn. I've told her,honey, i'm trying to give it up.She says try harder. .
