Actually, isn't it sort of the opposite? Shouldn't emotion be taken out of it?

Don't get me wrong, it was obviously a great racing moment, and while you didn't have to be at Churchill to feel it, I'm sure it was exponentially more electric being there. .

We all take our own perspective from things we read, see or hear based upon our experiences. To me, I thought the writer did a wonderful job in a few parts of the article expressing that moment when everyone at the track (regardless of background - whether they were a fan or bet on or against her) suddenly started cheering. I was surrounded by people who bet on Blame, I bet on Blame, but it was something that when she looked like she may just pull off you really, really wanted her to. I can't explain things like that, but I think it is cool when I read something by someone who can.

I hope to forever remain ignorant of what it feels like to root against yourself.
