Most other sports, people seem to be able to watch and enjoy without the need of knowing exactly what price each team/player has gone off at.

Horse Racing seems to have the 'gamblers tag' attached to it before the sport, which probably puts the regular Joe public off.

Would you enjoy it as much without the betting and the 'kick' of knowing there's money riding on it a race?

Personally, I can watch racing without a penny on it all day and love it.

I love horse racing.

Can watch racing all day tbh with no betting interest. But if there was no betting prob wouldnt, except for the best NH races/horses probs.

Tutan, you have an awfully co-operative missus if you don't feel the need to have to walk around smelling of PVC the following day.

Enjoy watching racing with no bets, might spot something.
But if there was no betting there would be no point whatsoever watching.

Enjoy the higher profile races without betting. The everyday dross would be torturous without financial involvement.
