In a related story, it seems like everytime I go to the track with my non-racing-fan friends, they want to tear up their tickets whenever their horse is in last after 1/2 mile in a 9 furlong race. I try to explain that being in the back of the pack is not a bad thing all the time, but I don't think they are hearing me. I don't think non-racing fans understand pace.
