rezlegal,
That comment you read isn't fair to TAP.
Draw reins are sometimes the only way to keep a horse from galloping too strong or even running off in the morning. Some horses accept them, some dont't.
With draw reins the horse is pulling against itself and the
rider instead of just the rider.
I doubt if who made the comment knows how tough some,not all,runners can be to ride and keep at the desired speed.
Shake hands with a jockey or exercise rider some time and you'll get an idea.
