That’s what’s wrong with British racing, when you can let a jockey openly cheat to win a race, it’s the punters who are being ripped off

The current whip rules are a fiasco.
The BHA has folded to Animal  Rights fanatics into the current situation but,we are here.
It will only get worse

Fiasco or not, rules are rules and if you break them you are cheating your fellow riders.

Disqualification is the absolute answer, no ifs, no buts, no beating about the bush with complicated rules nobody can keep up with, as Mark Zahra succinctly alluded to at Ascot.
They won't do it again in a hurry.

Instant DQ and long ban, be surprising how quickly the jockeys would cotton on.

The current rules state,quite clearly,the number of strikes that bring about a disqualification.
Tough luck if it doesn't suit you

And he was whipping the horse like he had a sledge hammer in his hand, for what? All to win a listed race, runners up paid 500k for caviar heights in the autumn sales, Colin if you are reading this you stupid @@@@

The people who brought in the whip rules should hang they heads in shame for bringing racing into disrepute and the two Jockeys who was on the panel have alot to answer for.They should never have been a number put on it.

Forget about the ride on windlord. The "ride" on publish in the 2.25 was as inept and incompetent as you will ever see. Boxed in in a 5 runner race. That's hard to do. Got the best horse in the race by a mile beaten. Again hard to do. Keane is a championship Jockey. Burnley Sheffield utd. He is not a premier league jockey. Eg Liverpool man City. Found out in that race. Needs to go back to what he's used to. Is not in the class to ride for juddmonte.

Jockey in new high-profile job, getting boxed-in in a 5-runner race at Sandown, told he's not good enough for the job...

Now when did I hear that before and about who...

Not as unsurprising it would be when same day punters vow never to bet again after leaving the racecourse in tatters.

any other ideas?

leif, if you're worried about once a year drunks losing their fivers in the stewards rooms, you shouldn't. Anyone who gives a sh!t about racing would know the rules, no different to any other amended result in the stewards room.

The game is trying to attract new racegoers (and by association new punters) who wouldn't understand the whip rule and would be left angry and confused when told their winning ticket was only fit for the bin.
It would leave a bad taste for them and potentially some level of confrontation with the bookies.

Disqualifying the horse on the day would be a PR disaster (IMO)

A very smelly ride by Fallon on Bosra Sham

Good memory, Mr C.

uptheirons, makes me wonder what would have happened if John Gosden had been the trainer of Bosra Sham, would Fallon have been given the boot?
But Cecil was having none of it, absolutely stood by Fallon in the post-race interviews.
