Punting the horses-Skill or Luck?

Loopy,I will E-mail you as it would be interesting to compare notes from time to time. I have raced for over 40 years and when I sold my business to "retire" I set myself the challenge to join the 5%.
It was impossible for me to anticipate the difference between punting for fun(but obviously to win) and honing the "win to eat " theory.Although I did OK before,I think it was more about getting back losses with a few nice wins and investing those in property.
I cannot recognise myself or my punting strategy compared to 5 years ago,and how much has been 2 steps forward,1 step back with continual fine tuning.
Talk soon!
