Rich Strike's Outrider

[Left Bank]

You may or may not agree, but the Outrider who came to Rich Strike after the race should be FIRED!! Repeated jerking on the reins and pounding on the head and nose with a closed fist is NOT something you do to a horse that just ran a mile and a quarter, especially when the race is on National T.V. This person had another rider there, and instead of asking for help, he repeatedly beat on the horse. He could have asked the other rider to come along the other side and help out. I'd be tossing my head around too if some Moron kept jerking on my mouth. Inexcusable display of stupidity.
