Uppercut- ran on well AFTER jockey had used up his whip count

@DI
That's how I saw it too .
Anyway - how can we know that constant application of the whip always makes a horse run faster or produce maximum effort ....maybe one or two taps brings out whatever they are capable of and further strokes are redundant .
Isn't it possible that they can resent it too -we do know it makes many of them run off line ...which is not helpful to their chances.

as jockeys become unbalanced, none moreso than richard hills. you have grasped what I've noticed so many times and taken advantage of down the years of 'in-running!'
hills is like a butcher, no finesse whatsoever; he once said, 'hamdan likes me to hit them!'
does he really?

Richard Hills probably uses the whip less than any other leading jockey except possibly Fallon.
If he's ever been "done" for excessive use I can't remember it.

How I saw it is that the favourite stopped after Moore couldnt hit him anymore and the second quickest horse won.

I guess all depends what we want to win, is it the best horse or the horse than runs on the best without the use of the whip. They are often 2 different things

i wouldn't say that hills doesn't like the whip...but ihe is wandering if the 7 smacks is per race or per season

I stopped reading after 'leading jocky'

sorry flyingbolt

Dickie has'nt the strength to lift his arms,
let alone the whip.

I didn't say he was any good,Timeless.

But with that job he is a leading jockey.
