Preloading troubles

[DigitalDownsJoe]

So lets say you have a larger then normal sized bet and you see your horse, fighting and not wanting to load, they circle him around a few times..He wont go in again, they are shoving him from the rear and he just refuses to go in..Windows are clear, your ticket in hand..Any of you ever get a bad feeling and cancel???

Seems whenever I do cancel my ticket the horse wins. :D

Murphys law!! LOL I have done it a handfull of times, and I have only had the horse win once. I wasnt too terribly upset however, because I bet the horse at 3-1. and he dropped to 8-5 in the last minute or two..I wonder if it would effect a route race more then a sprint???

I also wonder if any of you watch your horse pre race. Do you look to see if he is chomping on the bit, looking energetic, handling the crowd? If you do pay attention how much does it effect your decisions...If your tossed between 2 horses, is this the final factor..?
