You should know better. Fool.

If Synchronised didnt fancy it why did he keep on jumping for another 10 fences after AP was off his back?
habit. Because it was trained to do so. That horse did not fancy it pre race, I'm convinced of that.

Presumably you have ACTUALLY watched racing in the past. Thus you will have season horses run out, stop, refuse, pull up, not enter the stalls, not come out the stalls, kick out, unship their jocket etc etc.

If you think you can get half a ton of equine muscle to do something it really doesn't want to, I reiterate, you are a fool.

No disputing that horses like running and jumping but do not think they enjoy running in the national. Watch the incident I'm refering to. Look at the horses behaviour when McCoy took him to the fence.
Say I'm wrong and the horse was having fun, it still died. Gold cup winning horse dead a few weeks after that victory.

Serious question.  If you took betting out of the equation, would anyone care about horse racing?  Does anyone care about winning for the sake of winning, as in other sports?  Or is it all about winning bets?

Love it as a sport and a spectacle, Group 1 days like today are fantastic. I follow racing in the same way I do football, cricket and golf.

You have favourite horses? Is it because they win you money or do you just like them? Or follow trainers/jockeys?

My own hunch is that without the gambling element, horse racing would not exist as a sport.  Is there such a thing as a Frankie Dettori supporter?

Yes, definitely. Take the likes of Frankel or Sprinter Sacre - absolutely unbackable at their prices, but you are desperate for them to win. I have favourite horses, jockeys, favourite races. It's a sport.
