A couple years ago at River Downs we had a horse that would run with no whip because the trainer said she hated getting hit. She kept running 2nd and 3rd, but was competetive.
So Louis Stokes who was riding the horse, begged the trainer to let him use the whip. The trainer finally said ok, but only on the front, no hitting on her hind end. So what happened first start with the whip?? She won by 2.
