I think the punishment doesnt fit the crime. I have seen trainers yank on horses on the paddock when they wont stand still to get saddled which is where everyone can see them . I have seen trainers shank the ever loving crap out of horses when they are being unruly in the paddock and I have also seen them give a knee to the guts when they didnt think anyone saw it .
I have witnessed pony people poke horses in the eye and smack them in the head when they are on the way to the gate and the race horse is trying to mount their pony . Ive seen these things at **** hole tracks like Waterford park and the Great race place Santa Anita . The jock did something that wasnt right Ill agree but he doesnt deserve this harsh of a punishment and he sure as hell doesnt desereve to be kicked in the gut buy a 1000 lb animal. That is like saying someone should have hit your mom upside the head with a baseball bat when she spanked you for picking on your lil brother or sister.
