'A reason why workouts are conducted under the cloak of darkness
instead of a more reasonable hour, open to the public.'




who was the guy who plugged in the cord and zapped the horse with the other end? that would rank him right up there.

Here's a video... They just keep showing it over and over though.

I unfortunately know a couple trainers that do this same thing.

Someone needs to strike him in the head with a sack of potatoes.

Unless you been on a race horse that was bolting it's tough to comment. I don't use a whip on a horse's face as a practice but the tail swishing/ear pinning/erratic action combined with an outrider appearing to try to herd him gives me the impression that the horse bolting and ignoring all rider cues.
I don't condone it but sometimes you have to get the d@amed horse back under control.
I was on a horse that bolted while out in the field. He was going sideways FAST, toward and 6-10 foot deep ditch filled with rocks and gravel. I smacked him in the head with the reins to get his attention because nothing was working.

Agree and this is certain to be blown up by the media.
