France going with on-the-day disqualification for "manifestly abusive" whipping
Quote:
France Galop has announced that disqualification for what it describes as "manifest abuse of the whip" will be introduced on September 1, a sanction triggered at nine or more strikes.
Unlike in Britain and the US, where similar regulatory changes have been made, any decision will be administered by raceday stewards before the 'weighed-in' announcement, meaning punters will be paid out on the revised result and not the finishing order.
France Galop's whip rules are presided over within the same overall stewarding structure as all other racecourse regulation, meaning decisions will be taken on the day and before bettors are paid out.
