WHIP RULE

Recommended Posts

I noticed today M Vance was issued with a warning on the whip rule,she hit the horse 13 times from the 300 metres mark stopping twice and hands and heels for the last 30 metres. J RIDDELL hit his horse in race 3 17 times from the 300 metres stopping once ,no hands and heels were is the consistency in their judgements ?

If the penalties were tough enough they would stop it. As an owner I would rather pay the fine for my jockey and let the record state that I won the race and collected the prize money. I wonder how much revenue could be gained from video watching and fining jockey's, trainer's and owners. They are all culpable?

Have another look at the replays prior to the 100m, forget about what happens in the last 100m re whip use, if they are in contention they can use at their discretion. 

Maia was lucky not to get charged, her whip use fell outside the rule while jonathan's whip use was within.
