**"New whip rules cost me a winner" Thread**

you do wonder how horses like Inglis Drever for example would of got on with this rule

I could fill a "Old whip rules cost me a winner" thread myself purely with outsiders that were beaten by gambles that had the life thrashed out of them.

My horse never even got a run because when he found out that the starter's assistant was no longer allowed to use the bull whip he just planted himself and told the jockey not to bother whipping him because he was fed up with this racing malarkey.

No Compromise 1.01 then drowne thought of new whip rules and got collared FFS

Just come to ireland folks,rules over here are better [;)]

These new whip rules have a flipside, how many times will you say my horse would have won if only my jockey could have hit him a couple more times?, then you have the counter argument, how many times will you say my horse would not have won if the jockey on the runner up could have hit his horse a couple more times?.

I'd say there have already been 2 today which match your first argument Silvergreaser - Shaleek and No Compromise.

then again bilbo the people who backed the winners of those races are not complaining

No but you want it to be a level playing field and that is not the case anymore. One jock will feel very different about the possibilty of getting a ban than another, one may be better at maths, one may be tired from a tough day and lose count or many other countless variables.

Before they were all at least just MEANT to be trying to win. Now all they think about is the ban - it's ruined the sport.

Been in place for 2 hours and it has "ruined the sport".

Grossly over-exaggerate much?

Its going to take a bit of time bilbo for jockeys to get used to riding with a counter in their head, the first few days will be a bit confusing for some, whether we agree with them or not I can't see the authorities changing things the new rules are here to stay no matter what.
But in a few weeks most of the confusion will have abated and most results will be the right result regardless of whip restrictions.

I thought this would of been rammed today?

Debatable if it cost me FLC as didnt see the race,backed Christine Dunnetts at Yarmouth,beaten in a photo? (£50 ew) Would it have won with the whip applied?

i think it would have.but thats just my opinion

Great shout if you backed that Scotty.

A tough call that would need to be made by a better judge than me [;)]

Not made me feel any better but no worries,place was nice enough.Would have shared with the Forum but you can blame lazarus for putting me off posting the info.

Didn´t cost me anything today...then again I backed Kieran Fox´s mount...

We'll all be screaming in the NH season. That's gona be a whole new ball game!!
