van 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2012 I just watched dexter Dunn drive Rockin Roll Lad to win at forbury, it looked like on the close up he was moving his legs and feet to kick the horse in the hocks,we have seen him do it many times with nothing said and if people say it is to pull the ear plugs out it wasnt long ago drivers got told you can not pull cords with your feet as i recall robbie holmes getting in trouble for it.

van 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2012 Watching the replay of Dexters next win he done the same turning for home and the close up shows his whip way outside the cart,so will be interesting if gets fined for whip outside of sulky confines like every other driver has been in the past? But what a massive shame the horse loses the race even though it lost ground in a gallop and still good enough to win Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiah 13 Report post Posted July 3, 2012 What difference does it make? I would have thought it may scare the horse into breaking ... but clearly not! It clearly doesnt injure the horse It clearly doesnt inject the horses with steroids ... yup no needles in sight in my replay Why the fines? Why the rules? Why the fuss on this thread?

majbarnett 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2012 kick hock as going forward to help momentum.. get ya timing wrong if you are not wearing steel capps and ya wont be able to join dancing with the stars .. it is all just mere TRICKS OF THE TRADE . not that there are many tricks left that they are allowed to do anymore Proberly doesnt work as good as a big hefty chain rattling at them .. um who was that horse and trainer .. shucks i might need some Devine inspiration from the Lord to remember that one . or a fencing staple in the hand end of the whip .. but effective all the same ..... this thread did remind me of that galloper ..
