Title: Horse whipping
Post by: Varche on 15 October 2011, 09:38:12

Don't know much about horse racing at all. But a couple of suggestions.

1. The final furlong post seems to be hard for the jockeys top observe. maybe some F1 technology like DRS. A simple electric shock to the riders privates so they know they can start "urging on".

2. Let them whip as many times as they like but have an equal amount of whipping diespensed on their flanks after the race by Geof Capes or Max Mosley or other celebs

Who knows the sport might actually become interesting

I would certainly agree with that - abusing any animal  (especially in these circumstances) is quite uncalled for.

2kv to the testicles every time they whip the horse seems perfectly reasonable feedback to me.  :y :y :y

They can then say in the post race interview they could really feel the horses pain on the home straight.  :o :o :o

If they apply this as a rule will Mat Mosley apply to be a jockey?  ;D ;D ;D
