So...am i CORRECT..........that regarding the WHIP....

Yes they can then have every excuse for not trying and get away with no penalty. so its foook the punter as long as the jockeys are ok.

yes thats the way it looks

thanks.

Whip strikes fine, an ambulance follows them so they want to get paid if they break the rules they thort were brill last week, but they're not cos Hughesy (who isn't a whip jockey btw) used his whip too much.

there are contradictions aren't there...richard hughes for instance is saying that the art of race riding has been compromised with the 5 hits in the final furlong....so he for one isn't happy with the 5 in the final furlong as well as the penalties....lets face it, the jockeys want to go back to a set of rules that they won't mind breaking!!!

The jockeys are trying to come to a quick compromise.
They are concerned about the penalties they are getting. This is a here and now mentality not the longer term problems this could result in.
The BHA are concerned with saving face and being able to say this was a "trial" and we expected a few minor tweaks after a period of bedding in. We have now agreed with the jockeys the finalised version and we are all jolly happy with it now.
