No Whip |
bill uminn 4/19/2008 9:15:23 PM | Keenland in the ninth produced a upr pick on Samba Rooster. For some reason the trainer would not permit Gomez to ride with a whip.
Anyone have some insight on why the trainer would do this?
Should this horse be elimnated with this type of equipment change?

valiant effort
