What Makes It Worthwhile...
... is being dead-tired and wanting sleep, yet still furiously clicking refresh on the results page because your favorite filly is running that day (on the opposite coast, of course ... damn time zones!)
... and being rewarded when you see the name "Citronnade" on top (G2 Dahlia at Hollywood). I might be her biggest fan, and this is what keeps me going when it all seems like a bad soap opera - to follow a horse and get that little shiver of a thrill upon learning of their win. Perhaps I'm in the minority here, but for me, that's what it's all about in the end.

Ah, Nellie - you're not alone in getting those thrills from your favorite runner. And in a sport with ever-shrinking career lengths, it seems like we've got to enjoy our favorites while we can.
