You would think that jocks would also be a little more hesitant to pull horses up too in scenarios where they think something wrong.
We all talk/care about the horses and their health, this would definitely not be good for the horses or the game. Think about the fallout from Eight Bells, and she was trying to win the Kentucky Derby. Clearly a bad idea, but I don't believe it anyway.
umm...I think we can put this to rest as April Fools
