WHIP! Im old enough to remember.....................

You want to see some of the top stables training their 2yos into the stalls.  Brutal.

Iv seen em  "rear up"

i remember piggot smashing a horse called mott the hoople at newcastle about 35 years ago,got up the inside of one and peeled the skin of it ,with his machine gun rat,tat,tat method,brutal

no one wants that M8

Aye, no cushioning in them days, 1st time poster

Lester would have only ridden half his winning total with this stupid rule in place.

What about that race in desperate ground at the Festival when the two Irish jockeys

pummelled their horses from the last fence to the line, today those two would have

finished up behind bars, it was sickening to watch.

Todays whip is different

Lester would just say they were asking for it.

the whips are that soft today,lester wouldnt have even bothered nicking one off the frenchmen [;)]

this is a disgrace
