Then it's another reason to leave the game. These idiots in California will be DQ'ing in 4 races a day. This entire whip rule bullshit is nuts. Sometimes the whip is needed more than 6 times, sometimes it's needed less than 6 times, and sometimes it's not needed at all. If a horse has welts or is cut then the Jockey should be fined and or suspended.
