I am not,
Your question was about Discipline
my suggestion was to G. O. A. L.
may I ask you?
After each race that you lose do you think any of the folowing thoughts
1. The favorite won yet it was rated worse than my horses ?
2. The favorite won yet it was rated better than my horses ?
3. Should I have passed the race? and why?
4. I had three win condenders I bet two of them the 3rd contender won
should I rethink my decision?
5. Have I made a paceline error ?
6. Should I post the race and P-C and ask advice ?
This is what I meant by Getting Out And Looking or G.O.A.L
I think this will help you

ABsolutely not Bill, I welcome your ccomments, no matter what they are, I know for sure you are commenting because you care and want help me learn , and I would be stupid to think otherwise. You are sharing your thoughts and time with me and giving me stuff to think about, and to answer you, I always look back and see what I did and then what happened, and look at how well my gut feeling , as opposed to the program , did.
Example, I let the program choose a paceline by putting in a few lines, but they are on different surfaces, poly , turf and dirt, which sometimes turf and poly work well in P/L selections, and then poly and dirt , also go together, but dirt and turf, not so good, instead of going with my gut feeling and choosing the line that I feel is best for this race.
By going back over the races and seeing how well this goes I get better at deciding what works best for me, thru trial and error, ( not so much error ), but doing it over and over, practicing till the cows comes home I will get what works for me to become habit, like 2nd nature, where I can see my paceline a mile away, and know it is the right choice for this horse. I am sure many here are there now, so I need better wager decisions to put the pieces together, and this I wish to experiment with for a bit before I zero in on the best approach for me, something that suits my style and will keep me happy and most important profitable.
And for reading the FU's I make it a habit to read 2-3 a week, thou my reading comprehension is getting better, it'll take me reading them 5-10 times maybe before everything sticks in my thinker the way it should, but till then, no need not to practice while i can, is there?
