The trouble with taking lots of courses is the constant deadlines; both self-imposed through necessity, and actual deadlines.

I had 3rd March and 17th March, now I have 7th April, 13th April and 22nd April.  But the 7th April one is really tomorrow, the 13th April is really 31st March, and the 22nd April is as it is.  It's very confusing.

Just about broke even on gold cup day.  Had a slightly mortifying 'lucky 15'.  Two of my horses nearly came in first... but came in second.  I had Get Me Out of Here who had a photo finish with Final Approach.  That evoked some strong feelings I must say.  And then Denman, though he was 2nd by a bit more.  Both were a bit gutting though.  My other two weren't even placed, which I can handle.  Still a pleasure as ever.  I love race week!

Anyway, I did half of tomorrow's ECA today, so only half to do tomorrow.  Though I did do the technically 'easier' half which I'll no doubt regret in the morning.  Hey ho. 

I'm getting to the stress levels that result in spontaneous and unnecessary stationary purchases.  I don't know why, but I always feel it helps.  It doesn't.  Anyway, must go, got to pick some bluegrass while the house is still empty...
