I have always thought that horse racing should take a mid-winter break. It is really the only year round sport, and for a gambler that can cause problems. It is best to take time off and come back fresh.
I think the same goes for writing, after writing a new post nearly every day for 6 months, it was time to take some time off.
I did miss some of the year end sales of older horses, but since none of the partnerships were very active I guess that is ok. Now it is time to “get back on the horse”, and start writing about buying horses again.
