Me!
After a race Geo Sholty pulls up beside and mad as hell yells
"Kid I couldn't have got by you with Royal Rick".
Royal Rick was a top FFA pacer.
In a big back swing I had hit his horse in the face with my whip.

Post by: Mrpick5 on April 26, 2026, 04:30:25 PM: Michel LaChance. Nobody in the history of harness racing had a more booming whip than the guy who was caught at the border with $50,000 cash years ago. Look at his drives. When he raised that right arm above the clouds look out. It came thundering down on the saddle pad or sulky shaft. The guy took perverse pleasure in using the whip. He also had rotator cuff surgery multiple times due to his thundering right arm that struck that saddle pad or shaft with more force than a Crocodile bite.
