When The Whip Smacks

Published: September 9, 2008 11:40 am EDT

A recent blog posting from Standardbred Canada blogger Kelly Spencer gives her perspective on the use of the whip in harness racing.

Spencer, the Marketing and Communications manager for Grand River Raceway in Elora, ON, is one of three bloggers contributing to Standardbred Canada's new website -- currently in preview mode while visitors get accustomed to the new layout.

United States Hall Of Famer Dean Hoffman and horse owner-trainer Brent MacGrath are also contributing to this new website feature.

On Wednesday, the Ontario Racing Commission will be holding an industry working session on the use of the whip.
