Not only should expect that, but the sport should promote it. I agree with Andy, I would rather that those people not become fans of the sport. We do not need that type of fan base.

I am totally unaware of anyone that goes to a horse race in hopes of seeing a breakdown. Never seen anyone get excited - only upset. My friends look away on the bad ones they don't want to watch.

so yes, I don't want them as a "fan" of the sport either.

as for Jockey.. eh, it was ok. I had to leave didn't see if Jon Court made an appearance or not but I was encouraged to see that my favorite jockey made it on the show.
