Do you mean in the home stretch or just in general?

That’s why I long ago stopped rooting for people in the sport. I have a friend or two who own horses and that’s the exception. I do hold my breath when they tell me what trainer they employed. Humans are complicated, horses not so much. I root for horses and I wear a pair of full cup blinkers while doing it.
