It were not best that we should all think alike; it is difference of opinion that makes horse races.

There is a sociology of horses, as well as a psychology. It is most evident in the world of horse racing, where many horses are gathered together, where year after year, decade after decade, they do the same, rather simple thing - run in races and try to win.

Trends, like horses, are easier to ride in the direction they are going.

Horse racing is waning in popularity.

The difference between playing the stock market and the horses is that one of the horses must win.

Horses are like people - they have different personalities. They can be nice, friendly and hard-working, or awkward, difficult and lazy. If horses were people, some would be on the dole, and others would be entrepreneurs.

I could just go to the horse races and take lovely holidays, but I have some strong views, and I want to make a difference.

Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people.

I still prefer horses to human beings.

But when someone is on a winning horse, and everything looks wonderful, it's very hard as an outsider to persuade them something is wrong.
