Intriguing to say the least! Here is Australian jockey Paul Williamson, who lives and works in Japan.

His specialty: Rogues and young horse starts. His method: The TAP.
Even he doesn't know what the TAP is. Originally it was thought to be an endorphin release. Some speculate that it's a vasovagal response. No matter- in the hands of the experienced horseman I can see situations where being able to do a TAP would very much come in handy.

A sense of humor that appeals greatly to this damn Yankee and great taste in music make these vids educational and entertaining.
Love the mention of "Pat"
