A difficult time is facing German Racing with the situation now that an appeal against overuse of the whip looks like it will be decided in Court. Apparently it is an offence to use the whip more then 5 times. A jockey found guilty is banned for 14 days I think but the new Court case will decide if overuse of the whip is more serious and - as in the case of drug test failure - if a jockey overuses the whip then the horse would also be disqualified. The Court will be asked to decide if overuse of the whip can be regarded as constituting and additional and illegal aid which if so, would lead to disqualification. Reply
