I'm appalled to read this! I had no idea that trainers would resort to such practices. I suppose it's akin to a bad jockey using the whip to urge the horse on. I know that the whip is supposed to be used just as a guide so the horse will keep his head front and keep a straighter line and not veer into other horses, but some jockeys use the whip to physically hurt their horse.
