This piece by Lydia Hislop so represents what I feel about racing i.e you don't need to bet to enjoy racing. Many's the time I tell people I worked in various racing connected industries or went to a race meeting and then find myself automatically on the defensive saying it's OK I don't bet and people look at me with eyebrows raised. The perception of people who know nothing about racing is that you must be a gambler to like racing and it's not, it's just not !
