It was 100% intentional.

There is no story out yet, but I just glanced over the chart comments from his mounts yesterday and when I read that a horse he was riding "shied from the whip" I figured it was the race.

Yeah, I watched it again and watched his arm this time. No doubt.

he wasn't "showing" the whip
he was whipping

without hearing a good argument for Rose, it appeared that he lost his temper after the horse quit

It looks like he tried to hit him on the head more than the one time too!

I can't find the head-on, which obviously would show more than what I just watched.

Once this does get out, he might need a new occupation. Sharpen that pencil....

I'm biased obviously, since I like the jock, but even with the head on, I think there's at least a chance the guy didn't do it with intent.

like him or not, he had no business hitting a horse in the head. i could see him getting more than six months, since the horse is now permanently 50% sightless due to his sheer stupidity and cruelty.
and yes, it was cruel. no beating around the bush with this one.


it's darkest before the dawn, right? so how much more will be piled on in this sport in the weeks and months to come?

Ok, really??? Seriously???? Ray Charles could see that he did it because he was pissed that the horse almost dumped him by lugging into the other horse!!

go to calracing.com
login or create an account

find the replays, and search by horse. type in this horse.
pick yesterdays race, and right above the video you'll see some choices for the video.

click head on, and then a second later or so click full screen.

Make sure you watch the head on. It is pretty disgusting.

He won't ride again.

I agree with both statements. That was tough to watch.

If that was my horse that he did that to.....

Granted I just watched probably the worst quality replay of the 3rd at DEL yesterday, but it doesn't look as bad as it was described earlier in this thread. I certainly don't think whatever might have happened warrants a six month suspension.
