The Garcia fine - should it be higher or lower?

Garcia has been riding the hair off of them lately.

Pun intended.

WTF? time to stop letting them appeal and continue to ride...then let them withdraw their appeal and take the days whenever they want--

A $1K fine is not steep enough to be effective. This is a matter the trainer/owner should resolve. A threat to remove him from consideration on their mounts would get the jockey's attention and take some force out of those whip strokes. If the stewards are going to be involved, then the fine/punishment should be elevated sufficiently to become an effective deterrent.

That was the dumbist post yet. The boy never rode a horse till last year and he needs to learn his trade. I have always said they need to take the whip out of racing.

I think they should let the horses take a ride on him.....

Don't forget the whips!

Geesh...
A whip can help..but if the horse is dead tired, no amount of hits is going to help it find energy. This guy needs to learn his trade.
If he does this next out...fine him big!
