What do you define as a bettor? If you consider some of the people here as bettors, it didn't seem like many found it all too easy to "turn the page" when Eight Belles broke down.

I was at Capitol OTB in Albany when Barbaro broke down and the entire place went silent when the news broke of why he didn't finish the race.
