Default No whip Samba Rooster can run

And Hung on too for a nice check. I wonder if he has told the other horses about this angle.

I was very impressed with Samba Rooster. He set nice fractions and was right there at the end. I know some horses that dont take the whip, but apparently he will just throw up his head and quit running totally. And on a side note,,,,,,he is one good looking horse!!

I assume Maryland can handle a horse that thinks he's run off

I wonder what would happen if he ever got behind a wall of horses at the start - run right over them?

I guess you ease off the bit, and that puts on the breaks.
