I think with The Banker it's probably not the best arguement too use. I've backed this horse a few times,even before the rules came in and he looks like a horse that can't really be touched with the whip.Even when he deadheated he was hardly touched.The days of them giving them a decent crack are done,as the arm can't go that far back now.It's definitely strange to see,but it's how it is now and i guess the drivers are still figuring out how 'far' they can go.
