Besides, have you ever ridden a race horse? They do not like to go slow. It is a job for those guys on top to keep them in check if they're plan for the race is to pace. That's why experienced jockeys win the races. They know how to handle them.

A friend of mine in California has an uncle that breeds, runs and retires racehorses. We ride the retired ones for fun. When two of them get side-by-side you have to hold on for dear life! They really could give a damn that you want them to slow down. They've been bred all their lives to be the horse in front of the other horses. I don't know how jockeys do it. We have to all but stand on the saddle and haul back on those reins like we're stopping a train.

Sure is fun though!
