Kevin Darley is plain useless as a union boss. He obviously did nothing until ridiculous whip rules and penalties were introduced. I cannot believe he actually watched any races and applied the new rules before they came into force. Can you imagine the Eider chase with 8 smacks ?..... same number as a fkin sprint ?
Shame on you Darley, you were a anti exchange mouthpiece for Savill when you were a jockey and now you are feckin uselss as a rep for a sport in the spotlight. I call on you to resign sir !!

The problem is that the PJA seem to think that only a jockey could put forward their arguments. Most trade union officials would be able to deal with the BHA very comfortably.
Dont get Darley OR Stier
As most followers of Systems will tell you, the difference between what might look good on paper and applying it practically can be a lot different.
I dont think the limit, esp over jumps can be workable and if it isnt then the fire will be fed as MORE jockeys will be reported by the Media for whip abuse and thus it will be used by Animal rights groups that there are now MORE offences and therefore it should be taken away.
Some Drink driving limits in countries are so low that a glass of Sherry and something cooked in a wine sauce could send you over, if they suddenly made it zero and subjected EVERY driver to a test then the numbers breaking the law would INCREASE and that could be the self fulfilling prophecy we get here.
Why someone didnt ask the WWH guy on the blower(he's supposed to be worldwide??) about the pressure's being applied to the respective racing authorities in the Countries involved is beyond me
Didnt anyone think about Challenging this assertion that whip offences are "Three times what they were" and not point out that if they had been applied to the respective years before that with the amount of racing being collated Pro Rata that it would have showed a different side??

Most trade union officials who are any good started off on the shop floor. It is nonsense to suggest there isn`t a retired jockey who could do the job. Darley just isn`t the one. He was retained jockey to Philip Saville a man who George Duffield laid out. That might be a clue as to his attitude now.
^ talks the talk canny walk the walk
if you listened to him talk he would have you believe he was a good jock, alas...

Many trade union officials have indeed started on the shop floor. But the racing industry is a very close knit community, and in my view the jockeys are mostly too close to the management of the sport.
