A handful of horse can be too much for diminutive men and women riding on synthetics. <br /><br />Right now extra care should be exercised while riding on these surfaces simply because horses are not allowed to separate from each other due to their innate talent. The jockeys tactics have become paramount and horses ability has been decreased in importance. <br /><br />Last year we also had the double disqualification<br />of Terrain when Jose Adan was put up in the Arlington-Washington Futurity. Strange doings in an extended synth meets. If something like this happened at Keeneland, we'd never hear the end of it.The_Knight_Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13497100877439699363noreply@blogger.com
