 Am I really the Weirdo?

       Location: Kansas | Just before I head to the alley at Lawrence, I make Streak do a couple trotting rollbacks because it gets him thinking about going fast. I think he would probably walk to the first barrel if I'd let him, but he's quickly moving up out of the 4D with a little hustling to the first. I'm still not sending him kicking and screaming in there but I want him at least in a high lope. On Chance I am that crazy girl smacking her leg with her whip before a run, and I will spank him a couple times with a bat going down the alley, then drop it at the mouth of the alley. He will be 3/10ths faster if I do that than if I just try to hustle him with my legs and body. |
