The sport obviously deserves the derision. I apologize if my view that a trainer should be fined and suspended for not doing his job should be mandatory in a sport where people put their faith in said trainer DOING A BASIC TRAINING TECHNIQUE THAT GETS HORSES READY TO RACE FOR MONEY.

Jesustapdancingchrist it's borderline fraud not to train a horse with a whip.

Or are the rest of you conditioned with this PETA-vagina morphing nonsense?
