THIS WAS MULTIPLES WORSE THAN BAZE AT BAY MEADOWS RECENTLY. THE REPETITIVE BEATING OF THE HORSE BEFORE HE ENTERED THE POST UNDOUBTEDLY LED TO HIS SLUGGISH PERFORMANCE AND WAS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY!!!

Because it did not take place during the race, it won't be on the tape of the race and the bastard will get away with it but it was a sickening display of animal abuse that should be punished severely.

Jesus..... poor thing.

I hope he gets whatever it is he deserves.

Poor horse.

The chances of anyone getting this reviewed for actions prior to the tape of a race are beyond unlikely. That is the most disturbing thing as far as I am concerned. It's like it didn't happen.

I just pulled up the replay on TVG and youbet and the beating is not part of the tape

Wow. Not a good thing to hear about.
