Bond, have you witnessed John Macdonald at Pompano? He reaches back, lifts himself out of the seat and swings the whip with as much force as he can muster up!! Read my thread and review the video replay from Pompano. Also watch the very next race which he does it again to a horse who is FAR out of contention!
Yeah, "BAND" them you ignorant asshole!
You know those greyhound protest people need something to do now...harness racing is next with their long whips and their 40 starts in a year...somebody's gonna notice.
the rule will be passed soon as it is on the agenda. must have both hands in each line and can only whip like that. no more reaching back and hitting. that's in nj
No need for a whip at all. Just another stupid harness racing practice. I've broken and trained many without a whip. Horses respond to sound and line movement just as easy. The people who claim a whip is necessary never tried to go without one, as that is how they were taught. These are the same trainers who back in the day swore you needed knee boot suspenders and now they are extinct and the sun came up the next day.
