Imagine, actually loose reigning horses. Allowing them to run on their own. To actually RELAX during a race. To let them finish on their own without beating them to death and causing them to duck and swerve in and out.

I can dream, can't I?

.......that is a good thing....... that works for monsters, maybe not so well with the remaing 99.9999999 % of the horses
in training. no, i wish they didnt whip horses. it really is cruel.
