I enjoy the race when I have a betting interest. Even if my horse doesn't win I still get excited when it comes off the turn and either is in front and I'm hoping it holds on or is off the pace and I'm hoping it will fire. So if I'm going to lose a bet I'd much prefer it be that way where I at least get that moment of excitement as opposed to picking up a DRF and seeing the horse I bet was injured and off the Derby trail.
