Both the winner and Rose's mare were all over the track in the stretch ... Rose was moving on the outside whipping right handed, when the winner drifted out, and Rose's mare veered in .. Rose switched the whip to the left, and nothing looked too amiss until the wire ... Had Rose's mare been bearing in uncontrollably to the point of danger to herself, Rose, and the field, hitting her in the head is an ugly last resort, but better than flipping over the rail or racking up the field behind her in doing so ... I have seen horses hit on the side of the head while bearing in or out uncontrollably as a last ditch measure ... I do not know if this was the case here, but it looked like the mare was ok on the rail and got a punitive crack in the face ... Maybe , maybe not ... It looked bad enough for the stewards to take measures, but I'd rather hear a final answer before I make a final judgement ... It is, however, inargueable, that racing does not need this, and neither did the poor mare ...
