WOW...this new whip rule is ssoooo cool.......

Great for us layers

..indeed chelsea........[;)]

...and together with the fact that the furry friends dont have to suffer so much....

a win win situation.......yep[;)]

I am going to batter a furry friend this evening, yep.

lol  - yes i think we should have a series of side-saddle races over fences.

saddo is going to hell in a handcart for that comment.....

...i suspect the karmic forces have taken note and have filed it away...yep.

egner tis better for us on slow feeds

[;)]

Zeb you would still be asking the poor animals to jump which would be against their nature.

wot time is yyw expecting you saddo ?

7.30

nice

arkle its against my nature to post on here,but i still do.

wow......not sure even the jokeys know whats gonna hapeen in the last furlong...!!!!!!

brilliant.....BHB....dont you dare rescind this.

...a gold mine...so much unpredictability.....

super duper....and kinder to the furry ones........

..next step....outright ban.

Egghead,
At seven seconds behind on ATR,of course you are.
You could not make a cup of tea let alone money.

What if a jockey gives the horse a slap and misses, does that still count towards their quota?

And how long will it be before the first jockey having used them all up, tucks the whip under the arm and swings his reins either side of the horse in giddy-up cowboy style?

The times a whip is used is simply that.If you miss,it is not a strike.

I was saying it mainly with tongue in cheek but fair enough that you have replied and thanks for your answer.

You just know though that the jockeys will be trying every trick in the book and showing the horse the whip and then throwing in an odd airshot between genuine slaps if that's the case and no doubt will soon be whipping their own boots or saddle just to make a noise that they hope the horse will also react to......expect to see plenty of use of the reins down the horses neck too.

I personally dont think they even need jockeys. Watch the greyhounds all the time and they get around just fine without a jockey imo

silly imhotep.......

....i do not "actively" play in running.....all my work is done before the start and then the keep bets kick in.....

..i let the in running boys...or "clamberers" if you prefer.......do my work for me....[;)][;)][;)]

i agree with elg also.....yep[;)]

...and another reason i love it......apart from the increased unpredictablity..

is that there is nothing more odious in long jumps races especailly on tiring ground than a horse that is quite obviosly knackered being hit and hit and hit in order that money is not lost.......utterly disgraceful......

..and hopefully soon anything over 3 miles will be banned....especially the Grand National.

..this is brilliant....soooo much volatility......

yyyiiippppeeeeee.

..this is just ttoooo good

odds all over the place....

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwoooohhhooooooo..happy days.

..and again.......incred.

much nice for our furry friends.........

makes sure they are not hit 14...15 ....16 times in last furlong when they are out on their feet.

brilliant.
