Yes, I live on the East Coast...typical provincial thinking on my part...
As far as not betting enough on early races you like, almost everyone I know (including myself) does this. I can't speak for anyone else but for me it's some sort of self-preservation instinct kicking in, if I step out on an early race and lose it is very tough for me to resist the urge to chase as the day wears on. Some of my all-time worst days have come on "big days" like the Breeder's Cup where I really liked a race or two early, stepped out, got beat, panicked, and then went on tilt.
