I feel sorry for the jockeys at the moment. It must be so hard to keep track of how many times you have whipped the horse in the final furlong when you are going stride for stride for a win. Surely they should be some common sense if a jockey uses the whip 8 times instead of 7?

I think it would be useful if the whip could keep count of how many times it is used in a race and once the maximum is reached - a red light could come on or it could go hot/cold to let the jockey know

l think thats a excellent idea but the trouble with the horse racing authorities is they are not that forward thinking chris but certainly looking at all these whip bans in the last few days the jockeys will have to adapt very quickly or further heavier bans will follow.

He was punished after he struck his mount six times in the final furlong as he won the £1.3m Champion Stakes on Cirrus Des Aigles at Champions Day and l do think there will have to be a bit of give and take on both sides before everybody is happy with the new whip rules.

All five are charged with conspiring to commit a corrupt or fraudulent practice, passing information for reward and deliberately not riding a horse to obtain the best possible placing for personal reward, or in the knowledge it had been laid to lose, an offence for which the penalty is a disqualification of five to 25 years.

THE BHA review group announced major changes to the controversial whip rules on Friday morning in a last-ditch effort to fend off the threat of strike action by jockeys.

Quote:
Riders will not lose their riding fee if they get banned for a whip offence and will forfeit their prize-money percentage only if receiving a suspension of seven days or more - up from three. Therefore a jockey who uses one more hit than allowed will not lose their prize-money percentage.

Quote:
The five-hits edict in the final furlong/after the last obstacle has been dropped, although the limit on strikes remains seven times in a Flat race, and eight over jumps.

RICHARD HANNON jnr accused racecourse officials of treating British trainers like "second-class citizens" after a row over work access to the turf track erupted at Churchill Downs, leaving British trainers furious at the disruption to their runners' Breeders' Cup preparations.

Quote:
Hannon jnr, speaking to richardhannonracing.tv, added: "It is an absolute disgrace, and I now know why my dad won't come to America. He has always been a good judge and he won't have the Yanks at any price - and he is dead right. It has cost us £120,000 to bring Strong Suit to America, and we have been treated like second-classcitizens.
