You could say these guys are over confident and let their emotions controll their punting pocket.

Tailwag i understand what you are getting at but feel it is a very dangerous game,all the same best of luck.

From personal experience in the greyhounds. Owners who have not backed thier dog to win the race, rarely have any regrets in doing so. I would say it would be much the same with the horses. But then again 90% of the owners back their horse anyway or have syndicates etc.

I dont think you can draw out too much on how much an owner backs their horse by. But if you were to know when they decided to put a few more on their horse this time, it might indicate they have more confidence. But not many people know the amount that is backed on his/her horse week in week out. So there goes that.

There are too many questions and not enough answers in racing. Thats what keeps people interested.
