This is proof how the fines are not working..11 whipping violations within the last year and only $500.00!

30 days is nothing as he only drives once or twice a month.

Just look at the long list of offenders..

TAKE THE WHIPS AWAY!

I think the Allan Davis horse you were thinking of who used to always run 2nd to stay in the same class was Best Night Ever.

Does he even have 50 drives this year?  Seems like he gets a violation every drive.  No hands at all just goes to the whip.  Who would use him anyway?  I think he’s also been suspended for human positive tests also.

Horse got so tired of racing for second, he lost his will to pass anyone after that. Still a nice horse but he deserved better in my opinion.
