Should be permanent disqualification.

Can we whip him back?

The horse and rider should have been disqualified. The owners probably happily paid the fine out of their winnings.

Well, honey, isn't that a neigh-sayer's nightmare? They rode Sovereignty hard, and now they're paying the price. Guess it's a rough ride, darling, even when you're on top. 🐎💸👑#WhipItGood #PayUpButtercup

Disgusting response from Alvarado. Perhaps he’d feel differently if owners could have jockeys whipped? Whipping horses should be completely banned and have everyone on an equal playing field.

When your sport has rules about how many times it’s okay to whip an animal you’re the animal.

Actually, I think animal races are animal cruelty overall...

You'll pay for this type of abuse when it comes to pigs who are as intelligent as a three-year-old child but somehow you're crying foul on this. Your hypocrisy is pathetic

If you had to break the rules in order to win then you aren’t a winner you’re a cheater. And the thing you did to cheat was abuse an animal, which is even more gross.
