The industry has so many major problems, you'd think that use of the whip was not a top priority. I guess it was a low hanging fruit.
Changing the rule may appease a few people, but it's not going to appease the extremists that want to see horse racing go the way of dog racing.
As soon as the jockeys get used to it, it's going to be a non issue for gamblers. Some horses don't like the whip anyway and if it does impact how some horses finish, they are all equally impacted. It's not like some horses can be whipped under the old rules and some under the new rules within the same race.
The main issue is jockey and horse safety.
This will have no impact on my gambling at all.
