The restrictions will come off when you stop writing in a childish manner.  You don't do that on your Twitter feed so why do it here?

You generally always piss off when you get called out on some of the outlandish crap you write so you were about due to throw your toys.

I don't know why any Jockey would bother riding in the series.

A second horse and rider have been expelled from the Country Mile Race Series as the first two jockeys across the line broke whip regulations at Wangaratta on Saturday. 

Patrick Moloney and Jake Noonan fought out the finish of the fifth and final heat of the series at Wangaratta which restricts riders to using the whip on five occasions. Moloney used the whip six times aboard Fontein Diamond ($14) and had a head to spare on Translator ($3.20 favourite) with Noonan reaching for the whip nine times.

Both jockeys exclusively used the whip inside the final 200 metres of the race in their eagerness to achieve victory as their mounts duelled over the concluding stages.

Noonan was suspended for nine meetings and fined $500 while Moloney was fined $450, the sanctions consistent with Racing Victoria’s penalty guidelines for the six races held under restricted whip rules.

The first three placegetters of each heat qualify for the series final at Moonee Valley on March 13 however the Nigel Blackiston-trained Translator joins Spanish Snitzel as being ineligible for the final due to being struck with their whip eight or more times in a heat.

Neil Farley aboard the Con Kelly-trained Spanish Snitzel also used the whip on nine occasions when a head away from victory as runner-up in the second heat at Swan Hill on February 16. Farley and Noonan are also ineligible from participating in the series final.

Last Sunday’s heat winner at Ballarat, Intellective, was almost banished from the series but will take his place in the final after Dean Yendall used the whip seven times to clinch victory by a short neck. 

The final of the Country Mile Race Series carries prizemoney of $250,000 and is the second richest race on the nine-race All-Star Mile meeting at Moonee Valley.
