There was some discussion of this a few years back. My impression was that the experience left the watcher a little cold - it's all about the betting, with little interest in the individual riders. Apparently the stands are mostly empty, with all the bettors inside checking stats and laying down their cash.
I may have remembered this completely wrong of course.
