Here is the US (HISA) definition of abuse. I agree with that. Definition of Abuse in Whip Use (HISA Rule Series 2000) Abuse includes, but is not limited to: Exceeding the Strike Limit: Jockeys are limited to six strikes per race. More than six strikes may trigger penalties, especially if deemed excessive or unnecessary. Striking the Horse in Prohibited Areas: Whip use is restricted to the shoulder or hindquarters. Striking the horse on the head, neck, or belly is considered abusive. Using the Whip with Excessive Force: Whips must be used in a controlled, non-aggressive manner. Excessive force or repeated striking that causes visible injury or distress is classified as abuse. Using the Whip After the Horse Has Clearly Won: Continued use of the whip after the outcome is obvious is considered unnecessary and abusive. Failure to Give the Horse Time to Respond: Jockeys must allow the horse time to react between strikes. Rapid-fire whipping is discouraged and may be penalized. -
I know Dave Kerr was very explicit with instructions re. whip use. Mind you, in those days there was a lot of rider choice.! He used my apprentice Andre Gillett and the boy was always told very firmly not to hit his mount. He also patronized Damian Browne wherever possible because ' he was kind '. My partner, R.J.( Mouse ) McCann was told by his boss, Ned Thistoll, that the whip was for saluting the judge. There were enlightened people even back then - and further - in the remarkable Golden Souvenir - Soneri match race neither of those superb riders went for the stick. Bill Broughton and Jim Ellis...I think..Doomed will correct me I'm sure if I have that wrong. -

Some I know have. Or, made sure that the jockeys were instructed not to violate the rules under any circumstances. However, I'm pretty sure all would if we had a DQ penalty similar to that in more enlightened jurisdictions.

2nd-KEE, 110K, Msw, 2yo, 7f, 1:32 p.m. The 2-year-old half-brother to MGISW Shedaresthedevil (Daredevil), LEADING CHANGE (Gun Runner) was an $800,000 acquisition for Case Clay Thoroughbred Management from Keeneland September last year and makes his debut Thursday for trainer Brad Cox, who also trained his Kentucky Oaks-winning half-sister. First dam Starship Warpseed, who sadly passed away last year, has a perfect six-for-six strike rate of runners to winners with GSP Mojovation (Quality Road) and GSP 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Star of Wonder (Uncle Mo) also amongst Leading Change's half-siblings. Yet another of his half-sisters, Moonstone (Gemologist), has produced GISP La Wally (Constiution) in her own broodmare career. Leading Change will face several well-met and equally-pricey rivals including Refined Design (Twirling Candy) for Ken McPeek and N Theory Racing. This $800,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga grad (purchased by Resolute Bloodstock) is out of a half-sister to GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner Furthest Land (Smart Strike) and SW/MGSP Luck Money (Looking At Lucky). Maximum Effort (Maxfield), a $600,000 KEESEP purchase for Winchell Thoroughbreds, will be the first foal to the races out of a stakes-winning first dam who earned north of $400,000 in her own racing career. Frank Fletcher homebred Forever Rocket (Into Mischief) is a full-brother to MGSW/MGISP Frank's Rockette. Riley Mott, whose father Bill trained that millionaire, takes the reins here for this son of GSW Rocket Twentyone, a mare purchased as a 2-year-old by Fletcher for $300,000 at OBS in 2011. TJCIS PPS 9th-KEE, 110K, Msw, 3yo/up, f, 1mT, 5:16 p.m. Closing out the action in Kentucky Thursday, The Palace Girl (Ger) (Arelon {Ger}) makes her North American debut having last raced over one year ago in her sole start, a second after completely missing the break at the Curragh for Kevin Coleman behind this year's Oaks Trial winner Giselle (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), a daughter of Newspaperofrecord (Ire). First dam Tres Magnifique (Fr), who has already produced G1 winner Tamfana (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), was picked up by Coolmore for €1,400,000 at the December Arqana Sale last year.
