Sounds a bit like what I said a few months ago, gnash, about being a 'casual' fan these days lol. I really CAN'T be dealing with all the bullshit that goes with it, anymore. And I'm happier now! Lol.
I used to be at it, almost like 'studying form' with the horses, what they were weighing a couple of weeks out from a fight, how many 'class' bouts their opposition had fought, who they'd been sparring etc etc! Madness! Lol
