Of course some of us might not be able to do that.

The horse may or may not have slowed down if the jockey stopped whipping,
Hers a theory, the exhausted horse was running in front, the tank was empty regardless of the jockey using the whip, so the whip is not getting any more out of the tank.
Yet the horse still won

Not all of them, some can be stubborn little blighters
The horses that are pulled up are so totally knackered that they don't run even when they are whipped. Any jockey will know that it is dangerous to try and jump a horse in that state, they are likely to get badly injured themselves!

Not only is it an unfair race for the horses----turns out it was an unfair race for the punters as well------certainly wasn't a fair race for the poor horse!

The fact that they were doused in water has led those more ill informed to make wild assumptions about exhaustion. No Horse collapsed from either exhaustion from racing or heat exhaustion.
