i don't root for or against horses for the most part. some of the connections on the other hand....i always pull for a phipps or claiborne horse. i never root for an ieah. other than that? i just want to see good racing.
as for who draws fans- judging by the funny cide story, i'd think most fans are drawn more to horses who make it big that are owned by small time folks. after all, most of us can connect with people like us, whereas none of us can find similarities to sheikh mohammed or many of the other deep-pocketed owners.
