I just read a comment posted in DRF to Watchmakers post Preakness column regarding Pletchers ( over) use of draw reins. I confess, before the Derby I had no freaking idea what a draw rein was. The writer basically accused Pletcher of incompetence. ( I am not a Pletcher hater or lover). So, I googled draw reins. Apparently, they are only to be used for short periods of time for difficult to control horses and will have an adverse impact on a horses performance if not used properly. Not one of the TV geniuses anywhere- including the estimable Mr. Bailey- said a word yesterday. Feel free to confirm on your own.
