SERIOUS endemic WHIP CHEATING that would make your Ma In Law blush

[Thomass]

Try Craig Grylls, Opee, Sammy Collett, Matt Cartwright, Leah Hemi, Kelly Myers et el...ANY Jock who wants an RIB blessing (complicit with tacit approval) tick WITHOUT penalty then observe and watch this video shocker from last Friday...only the head on here...but it's obvious what's going on

Toni Davies on the rails leader OVERRATED...the whip in the forehand position, vertical skywards...then assaults the head/neck with total intent for an audio storm where it shoots clear and hangs on

Against the rule..."no contact forward of the shoulder or in the VICINITY of the HEAD"...any horseman can easily recognise the intent

It's not only an assault on the head/neck region of our beloved thoroughbreds but it's an assault on the integrity of racing along with the dignity of our best mates

The Noble Thoroughbred..it's truly shocking what's going on and I have a disgraceful head on screenshot of Kate Hercock striking the ear and eye of her mount when winning on Saturday..without a question from the RIB

Didn't take long did it @Thomass.

When you have time take a look and tell me what you think

Maybe in my senility I'm starting to see things that aint there...or

..the racing industry...per se...simply think the end to filthy lucre justifies the means...i.e a good old bashing over the head is just fine??

Please take my screenshot restrictions off and I'll show the horrific head on pik of Kate smashing her whip into a beautiful thoroughbred's eye socket

@Thomass can post whatever he wants except out of context micro second screen shots of his TV screen.  Ad Nauseum I might add.  BOAY aims to be a Pro-Racing site with some balance.

Can you have an open mind and view the video I've provided

Yay or neigh

No cheating riding within the rules or..

....head/neck contact (illegal) supplementing the total allowable whip strikes with an audio battering activating the flight response

This is a screenshot directly from the NZTR website that shows what's really happening...

From a vertical position pointing skywards then a powerful strike wrapping under the ear and into the corner of the eye

Beware...GRAPHIC CONTENT

What race?

I think the whip rules are a mess and I find it hypocritical that some ex-jockeys have had a sudden epiphany of conscience.  

For example what the hell is wrong with giving a horse a slap on the foreleg/shoulder?  More effective than the rump and all the top horsemen know when to use it.

There's nothing wrong with it is there?

I thought you couldnt hit forward.

Then you should read the rules before you claim they are a mess, though I agree that they are.

No use forward of the horse’s shoulder or near its head.

But thats ambiguous.  How do you slap the fore shoulder without going in forward of it?

As for the hits on the noggin between the ears it's how they carry the whip when they are goimg hands and heels.  The whip is so flexible it bends without any effort.  Doesn't hurt the horse (haven't seem one flinch)!
