Watching race replays

It also depends how much actually happens in the race.

It varies quite a bit. There are times when I am just concerned about maybe 2 or 3 horses in a race. But there are times (mostly turf races) where I have no vested interest in the actual outcome of the race, but I am watching the replay in hopes of spotting troubled trips, etc...for future plays. In cases such as that, I will rewatch the race over and over, concentrating on only one particular horse per time.
