Because it's not random and for the sake of our horses and our industry, I want the abuse to stop and be stopped.

It's not abuse unless you define it as such and you can tell your mercernary buddy @Comic Dog I don't live in the past I live in the now!!  If he wants to sit on the couch with you and slow mo Jockey's doing the job he wasn't particularly good at and call them out them perhaps he should move his arse and get down to the birdcage and call them out directly.  

The criticism of Jockeys is a bit rich coming from Leigh McKenzie aka @Comic Dog from what I've heard he could barely hold a whip let alone get it past the saddle cloth!  

Tell him there is a Tiddly Winks game in the mail and some soft toys that he can post on his lost and found Facebook page.

I see neither @curious or @Comic Dog called out Erin Leighton today.  I can understand that with @Comic Dog as he wouldn't know how to take a snapshot of the TV.  Anyway you can't expect anything less on NZ's Anti-Racing Site.

Here ya go then. https://loveracing.nz/Common/SystemTemplates/Modal/Video.aspx?v=http%3a%2f%2fwww.racingreplays.co.nz%2fmedia%2f202510%2fM4_WELL_R08_261025.mp4&i=%2fCommon%2fImage.ashx%3fw%3d565%26h%3d314%26a%3d1%26o%3d1%26z%3d1%26bg%3deeeeee%26p%3dhttp%3a%2f%2fwww.racingreplays.co.nz%2fmedia%2f202510%2fM4_WELL_R08_261025.jpg&r=Race 8 - NZCIS WELLINGTON CUP PACKAGES NOW ON SALE 1400&rs=1&jwsource=cl

Other more enlightened jurisdictions like the US do. HISA also defines the abuse as inflicting undue suffering on a horse which is a serious racing offence under NZ rules subject to disqualification.

LOL can you tell your Pre-cambrian lifeform the @Comic Dog that as far as non-de-plumes go he has a shyte load of imposters over there with more than one alias!!!  LOL.

As for your crusade @curious I know a few people who think you have lost the plot counting whip strikes.  I see your mate is too lazy to do it himself.

Seriously you had to look really hard for your recent examples of supposed rule breaches.  Someone should hide the remote on you.

Someone counting TA horses @Chief Stipe ,that would be pretty upsetting for their no. 1 Fanboy wouldn't it?

So how did you miss that one?  Or are you just selective?  The taps were light anyway and I have no idea why it is a crime to tap a horse on the shoulder.  Best way to keep them straight.  But I guess your crusade to destroy racing as we know it doesn't take into consideration horsemanship or practicalities.

Anyway it highlights were the US rules are way more down the rabbit hole than ours.

Well @curious misses a few others including his own at times. 

True. Miss plenty and see plenty I don't post. Usually just put up the first one I notice any day where I have reasonably good video vision.

I'm not great at counting @Chief Stipe but I did manage to count the number  of completed races at Te Rapa today.

Groundhog  day.  Travelled the same road the same time last year.  Pity any fillies aiming for the 1000 Guineas as they had an extra week last year.

The third time Captured By Love has travelled to a meeting and not raced!!

She hasn't far to go back to her box , I pity those poor buggers who came from further afield.

She has far enough to go but it f#@k's with their brains.  The good ones get keyed up to race and know the routine.  It's a bit like having a hot date and she misses the bus!

Nonsense, of all the wank images you've posted, there wouldn't be one where the horse wasn't going forward or improving its position under the whip.

You and that woman trainer from Riccarton wouldn't have a clue.

It's not nonsense. It's a fact. Read for yourself. That's how they define it. 

If all those horses are going forward and improving their position, why on earth do they need to be struck illegally with the whip?

Well a bit pointless stopping like most ex Jockeys you wouldn't fit through the door.
