  1. Hi, Little Joey here.

    my aunt and uncle took me to see horses race today at belmont raceway. I'm not old enough to bet but I sort of had fun but I saw those guys riding the horses use a whip on them at times..I asked my aunt and uncle if that hurts the horses and my aunt said probably but my uncle said no, it just make them go even faster than I saw already they were fast.

    I dunno, does it hurt the horses when they get hit like I saw today?
     
  2. No it does not hurt the horse. The horses are on drugs and actually they like it.
     
  3. WoW. that doesn't sound very nice at all but guess it is ok as a lot of people were there today cheering the horses.
