    Maybe I've watched too many races?

    Talking about video not live, am I the only one that thinks that races where the leader wins are boring unless he/she happens to have won in what is obviously cracking time.

    It just seems to me that races where the leader gets beat are more interesting/exciting - even when the death horse prevails. Probably just an individuals opinion or is it because leaders leading all the way generally does not come across as much of a contest.

    I certainly agree with that Dean - I generally like to back leaders
    As for you Gibson - I could have added except when watching leading Invitational Stakes drivers
