He's a pretty special horse

Yikes, watched Espinoza busy but had no idea AP whipped 32 times. Hope no PETA loons saw that.

Haven\'t watched the action on AP yet, but I remember in the Louisiana Derby when Mena got after International Star 30 times in the stretch.  He beat  that horses ass with the stick.
I might look at a few of AP\'s early races, see if he ever got introduced to the stick for anything more than a token reminder.
I know when Rachel got pounded by Borel in the Preakness, he said she didn\'t like it and I\'m not sure if she was ever the same.

\"AP struck many many times\"

 they were full bore right handed pops. Top 3 finishers emptied out pretty hard.

New meaning to the phrase \"tapped out\".
