My horse had the lead from the start. By the time they turned for home, he was up by at least 10 lengths, with no one making any move. Midstretch, nothing else even on the screen, the jockey stands up, twirls his whip, and cracks the horse a good one on the right flank. Horse immediately veers to the rail, jock jumps off just before he hits, and my $3000 disappears into a puddle!
God, jockeys are stupid people!

Lol. Brutal.
That sticking on the wrong side can be brutal, a horse we own won the 7th at Delta last night and got DQ. I blame the jock completely, he was sticking him right handed and then into the stretch it's 3 acoss, we're on the inside and he whacks him left handed and whoops he turned right into the other horse. Got placed 2nd, costly in a 40k allowance
