how long till whip rules implode?

Sadly when there's an accident

on saturday the BHA want as many folk as possible watching champions day and this will be a day when some jockeys will be under instructions to win at all costs.

with the useless new whip rules rushed through as a knee jerk reaction to a few PC idiots with their own personal agenda, shooting, self and foot are words that spring to mind.

good point by dettori---last thing you want to do when trying to win is count how many times you whipped horse

hughes ban is a scandal

word will soon get round the equine population that the humans have introduced a whip limit.

All the intelligent horses who've been to primary school will be counting carefully and downing tools after the quota used

Have to agree with Outpost.  If a big name jockey gets banned on Saturday it could do untold damage to the sport.  And what about the media build up to Ascot's big day?  Column inches mainly on whip bans and cruelty and not the 'so called' jewel in racings crown - incompetence and sheer pig headed ignorance at the BHA knows no bounds imo...
