whip rule

No - Richard Hughes got banned for one 'tap on the shoulder' today..

You cannot say the Rewilding would not have beat So You Think.

The rule, obviously, was not in place then - and So You Think hardly only received 7 'love taps', too.

onlooker as much as i take your superior knowledge to be superiour, if you think that rewilding would have beaten so you think under a fair ride then im afraid i disagree.9 day bans dont happen for nothing.

Jetaway,the rules state a jockey must take all measures to obtain the best possible placing.You and feckin should take up massage therapy for abused ferrets and leave racing to the hetero population on here.hth[;)]

so scot what about the new rules will you just ignore them?

I seem to remember everybody - including the Fat Mouth of Big Brother fame - eulogising as to what wonderful win it was, and  what atremendous ride it was by Frankie.

Nobody as much as batted an eyelid, or even remotely thought about the whip, until the AMATEUR Stewards dusted off their rule book.

I will stick to my reliable info,infrequent,but if it means whip it will get a slap to get the job done.

Well worth it.[;)]

amatuer stewards?9 day ban.lenient now isnt it ?

There are NO Professional Stewards.

Moore might not have hit SYT as many times as Frankie but he was much more forceful with his whip than Frankie in fact Dettori's were only mere taps, so there is an argument to say for every one tap from Moore it was worth two of Frankies one, Moore I think hit SYT 12 times.

Precisely  - There are two sides to every story.

You give an opinion and you're a nob?, the fact is I watched the video many times which is why I came to my conclusion, another example if Richard Hills hit his horse 10 times but Fallon only hit his 5 times which jockey would have been more harsh on his mount?, we all know Hills uses his whip within the rules Fallon has a borderline over the shoulder action that comes down much more forcefully.

Best possible placing w/o breaking the rules obviously. We can't have jockeys pushing others out of the saddle for example. You think that should happen?

The hetero argument is laughable. Somehow hitting a horse and being able to watch it makes you a tough guy.

Jetaway do you think it would be fair to ban a white van man for doing 70 in a 40 mph zone.Ban for 2 weeks,no wages?

Ban a Ferarri driver for the same offence.He hires a driver or takes a cab to work for the same period with no worries about lost wages?

The difference is that jockeys like young Fox dont have the luxury of being minted like Hughes for example.

These rules are like speed cameras,indiscriminate.One driver earns £300 per week the other £3k per week,who suffers most?

Is it fair to have a one size fits all?

JC as usual you jump in without reading,the hetero comment was a completely different matter but relevant to jetaway,not the whip.

HTH[smiley:crazy]

We all start at the bottom. If fox can't ride to the rules of the game he wants to be involved in, then he doesn't get involved in the sport.
What's hard about that?

No point in STARTING a thread on here - if all that you want is for people to agree with you...

- and then when they don't - throw an illiterate tantrum.

Smacks of childish - "Nah,nah,na,nah,nah."

Of to bed with you - School in the morning.

You called him gay because he doesn't like the whip.
I cracked that code Scot. Stop trying to make out you are subtle mate. You are transparent as fook.

Agreed onlooker,jetaway has always been a bit petulant.John Cherry shames the horse,jumps into things with no idea of previous posts.

Gives big opinions which look more silly when the reader knows he is trying and failing to be clever.

Tip JC,dont get or try to be clever unless you know what you are commenting on.hth[smiley:crazy][;)]

If Frankie would have won on Rewilding without having to use the number of slaps he gave Rewilding then why didn't he?

Yes the rules also state the jockey must take all measures to obtain the best possible placing but that is a far too one dimensional and simplistic way of looking at it and why don't they throw the weights away from the saddle then if that helps obtain the best possible placing? The obvious answer to that is because it's against the rules but then again so is 20 odd slaps with the whip but one you get disqualified for and the other you don't.

I love the way too how as soon as you make any comment based on the actual rules regarding the use of the whip that that somehow makes you some kind of tree hugging pinko. If I back a horse in a race and my jockey sticks to the rules and is beaten but the other jockey breaks the rules to win but keeps the race then what's the point of my jockey sticking to the rules and more importantly what's the point of having the rule in the first place if you still benefit by breaking it?

I used this analogy the last time that particular race was the topic of debate but to let the result stand is the football equivalent of a centre foreword in football punching the ball into the net and the referee lets the goal stand but sends the player off.

Confirmation JC you thicket,the gay bit was all to do with a thread hours ago.

Warrack and nob end.

oh you see i read this thread and thought your comments pertained to the whip.
I'm a thicket because I haven't read all the codswallop threads you post on?
I'm shrewd in the extreme.

Why another name btw rscaughtboy/molerat/glentoby?
anyway, your ideas on the whip are arcane and pub bore talk.
Change gear.

No JC you are intellectually challenged with a big mouth and bigger opinions that are laughable for there lack of substance.

In other words you comment for the sake of something to say,but do not know shyte.hth

[;)]ker

Answer to your previous,to net waynekers like you.hth[;)]

I'm a big mouth? lol, you'll be calling me gay next.
Tell me what is wrong in my posts otherwise stfu you dull bore.
Calling me names means you can't pick out errors in my posts.

We all start at the bottom. If fox can't ride to the rules of the game he wants to be involved in, then he doesn't get involved in the sport.
What's hard about that?

Why is that wrong ^^
Answer without emoticons if possible.

I dont read your posts YSDC,no pre frontal cortex in your case.[smiley:crazy][smiley:crazy][;)]

You don't read my posts?
How do you work out I don't know what I'm on about? Feck me what a dumb@ss.
You sir are a prized plum.
A dreamer.
You were on here all times of the day whilst in a £1000 a night hotel in Paris on arc weekend.Giving going reports like a plum trying to make out your info was more important than a cancer cure. It was embarrassing.
You have 3 houses and are in regular contact with some sort of mafia. After a few beers you start threatening people with references to said mafia.
I've read your posts and you scream absolute bullsh1tter. A laughing stock.

here we go on another thread;

'You know who you are,we know who you are and your location'

a minor threat. he loves it, thinks it makes him a somebody'

An ABSOLUTE plum

Still playing poker in France?[;)]

I'm not ascotboy. Haven't you worked out his typing idiosyncrasy that reveals him?
There's only one other poster who does it and that's Salmon Spray.
Get your detective boots on.

the bha are being lazy.how can you say that all horses are the same.why not give them a whip rating as well.ive been thinking about this all day on and off.there is corruption in any sport thats for sure.all this rule does is make it harder to detect,if your horse is running in a £100,000 race tell the jockey to win and if he gets banned slip him the money cash for lost rides etc. this whip rule is totally open to corruption.take for example frankel on saturday 1-3 looks a very good price now.
