As far as being loyal to a horses that you have a win on, the rule for backing it at it’s next start …or not start is simple……..do the opposite of what the Market does! nothing to do with loyalty……Those that have total faith in the market will always be followers, they will always take unders and if you always take unders you will struggle to win, some horses the more they win, the better the price…..you have to assess them for the race they are in….. and the price being offered………you don’t stay loyal cos you feel emotionally attached…..and you don’t sack a horse just because you won on it…….both theories are based on superstition and emotion, if you let your emotions make your decisions you will lose long term
