I do believe I have wagered my last dollar in New Jersey....smh

The New Crops are completely safe physically but I did not know the Stewards
were protecting them from fear!
Simple solution Ban them totaly or not but for someone to opine on the intent of a jockey using a whip during a stretch drive is ludacris and absurd.
Hopefully they are all trying to win or improve there position!

I’m glad that they finally addressed the most important issue facing the sport.
