I certainly do not want to see any horse abused in any way shape or form and any jockey giving a horse whip abuse should have the book thrown at him. However,the change in the whip rules are wrong and will do the sport no good at all.
Nobody could say Hughes abused that horse tonight,yes he broke the rules as they stand,but the rules have gone too far |

Good point, Gerry G.There has to be a limit on how much urging a horse receives. When it's got no more to give there's no point in continuing. The whip is an incentive to some (not all) horses to keep trying.Excessive use of the whip could push a horse one step too far.
