Shouldn't of had that whip if he wasn't gunna use it. Would look a whole lot better if he hadn't had that whip with him. If somebody thinks the bettors are cool with a guy with a whip not hitting a horse full of run(and eventually losing,) then they are badly mistaken. Right now, it looks like he is covering for the jock. A year is a long time. They aren't buying the trainers story. We don't know why that is. I'm not sure we want to know that. Just take the punishment. It's necessary for the sport. A guy was out there with a horse full of run, and didn't use the whip he had with him(and he lost.) Not only did he lose, but the jock never seemed very interested in winning that race. So, I have no sympathy for any involved. Do it differently. Really, if they want to be bush, then go down to Louisiana. There is a place for this stuff. This has become a very horizontal game. This jock may not have cared much about winning on this day, but bettors care about who wins these races.
