Think of THAT TIME when your horse was on that 5-length lead and losing it - AND how you would feel if the jockey never used the whip.
You'd be saying, "Couldn't he see that the horse was quitting?"
Well, hitting that horse is what he didn't do.
Sure, there are lesser jocks that have to beat the crap out of the horse instead of urging with a couple of taps because they don't know better.
THOSE are the jockeys riding at MTH right now.
