Teams of three, each runs a 1 mile loop and passes the hunt whip to the next rider relay style. The hard part is you have an area that you have to be in to pass it. The rider waiting has to time it that they are up to a gallop as the passer comes in and the passer has to pull up a bit or they will just blow on past. They practice for months as a team to get it done. Two years ago I was shooting and the head of our club and race team came up to me and asked if I had an insurance card which I did. Apparently the track was checking cards and one team member didn't have one. I was told to go find some riding cloths and get ready to race. They put me on a race horse that was a Maryland million competitor with over $300,000 in winnings. I got it done, didn't drop the whip, and the team won.
