Trainspotting
 
Any opinions on what Pedroza was doing to this horse in the 3rd at Hollywood ?

I made a small win wager on him in a race I probably shouldn't have bet at all but after a clean start Pedroza appeared to do everything he could to ensure this horse got to the rear of the field before evenly following the field home.

Did look kind of strange. I initialy thought he had to pull up but he did end up finishing the race.

Just watched the replay. Perhaps he thought something was wrong with the horse early on, but this is a type of ride we see all the time, and as bettors, we are expected to just move on to the next race, but this is a major problem with the game. Jocks need to be publicly accountable in situations like this. We, the betting public, deserve an explanation.

Should a horse, held together with bandaids, and ridden like that, be allowed to race?
