However, this is racing and they whip them during a race. As soon as any of you drop 100 lbs. and win as many as Victor, then you can criticize him. Until then you are just crying. Stop it. If he was as bad as you say, then no one would use him. So get over it. Stop starting useless threads.

I'm not a PETA parader, but this is not a useless thread. The sport might benefit from less whipping to no whip.

Think about it, the horse is giving as much as it is willing to give and regardless if they are winning or not they get the whip?

Thats kinda like being married!

I watched the replay of this race, the horse was struck 9x with the whip...


Topic starter is a douche and should think about driving off a cliff...

If the horse has nothing left, I don't agree with using the whip anymore. Only the jockey would truly know.

But sometimes I see jockeys whipping a hopelessly beaten horse near last place, and I have to wonder why.
