I dont always agree with you but I've had it as well with the bs lately.
I'm reading guys who want props because they said a few months ago that some extremely fast stakes winners would win more stakes. Now gee, there is an original thought, certainly mind blowing stuff.
The great Pat Day always told me that a whip is overused. You certainly can get a horse to dig in deeper by using the whip, or the whip can be used to get a sudden burst of speed to "put the others away." But the lengths the whip gives you is undetermined.
