Truly unbelievable... Nothing is 'ommitted'...
I would have reprinted the entire piece, but since that violates copyright laws I only previewed it and provided the link.

"And why can’t we can quit pushing horses into the gate on television and whipping them to make them run? If the trainer can’t train his horse to go in the gate and the gate workers can’t put it in there without force, scratch him. Usually there is a reason a horse does not want to go in there. And usually the horses that want to run don’t have to be whipped. Beating a horse during a race and having it break down under the rider and lose its life is no way to build public support and attract new owners to this sport."
That gets it absolutely right.

In Australia the rule seems to be if they don't load after the second try they are scratched and the gates open immediately. No ridiculous delay like is prevalent here.
