I hope they do get rid of the whip. As far as race day meds being allowed only in North America while the rest of world does not what else is new??
Anyone wanting a blueprint for success simply has to look at what goes on here in racing and do the opposite. From Adw's to signal wars to race day meds etc etc

Whips are often a tool necessary in guiding horses away from danger , especially sudden moves . To remove this mechanism from jockeys would be a disaster in the long run . I've seen instances where jockeys don't carry whips but they're far and few between . They'll never ban the whip .
