The jock on the 2 in Race 1 (Dylan Davis) did not appear to be carrying a stick. He won two races later on the card and in both I think he had no stick. It seemed on Friday night about half the jocks in each race didn't even carry one. Ferrer said he was afraid he'd use it after 37 years of rising with one. But today I noticed today that the stick is coming into play. As the jocks aggressively push on the reins and hold the stick it naturally results in the stick hitting the horse. Watch Jomar Torres here in 5/30 race 7 starting at 1:15 then again on the head-on at 4:20. The jocks have adapted quickly. Ferrer was was using it today in similar fashion. Hopefully they continue to allow this it is completely benign.
