Did Kevin Stott just CHEAT??

[Thomass]

My word he did

DJOKOTA under a punishing whip drive and he slips in 2 consecutive strikes when under pressure

That worked wonders and gets up by a small margin

Whip strikes work and he wont care as long as he makes an impact as the new boy on the block

So he gets a "warning' with no fine because of his 'good record" after a couple of weeks riding??  Give me a break  

Wins the race by a head after cheating and gets to keep all the ill gotten gains

Not as bad as Danielle Johnson  though winning the Livermol after 2 loads of 2 consecs, winning by a nose

[curious]

It won't stop unless they significantly increase penalties and include disqualification as other major racing jurisdictions do.

Exactly,  will they take the plunge in their next attempt at how to screw up a perfectly simple solution, or will they screw it up again?

A very good example in Ngakau Hailey winning yesterday with continual half/full strikes to the flank when winning a nose

Much like Nabber McNab does when using the seam of the whip as well while flicking in consecutive strides

Part of the reason why they banned consecutive strikes was the aesthetic but as you can see the jocks not only look as if it's continual but with some they're actually striking every stride.

As you say, one strike hands back on the wither is very simple

Yes. I showed a race to a group of non-racing friends and colleagues who were alarmed by the whip use and some of whom would probably race a horse with me if it weren't for the whip use. None realised that the whip was not being used directly on the horse every stride. The aesthetic is important to our SLO. Hands back on the reins between strikes and preferably 2 or 3 strikes between to allow the horse to respond is imperative.
