I've seen a lot leave the chifney on racers. They use them to lead the exited horse out, but just leave it loose in the mouth for the race and use a bit that's also in the mouth. So it's double bitted really. Not a fan at all.

It's just left hanging. it's not used to ride in. they have both the chifney and a normal bit in at the same time. I'm not a fan
