And William Hill Park Hillside yesterday:

R3 Testability - slow into stride. Apprentice Ben Thompson was warned for using his whip on six occasions prior to the 100m which is one time more than permitted. Rider Ben Thompson said his mount would appreciate a track with more give.

R6 Ten Goals - rider Craig Williams was warned for using his whip six times prior to the 100m which is one time more than permitted. Craig Williams reported his mount, which was first up today, had to work hard in the early stages and this was detrimental to its chances when unable to finish off as expected.

R8 Monogram - steadied off the heels of Samertha Heights passing the 400m. Rider Craig Williams was warned for using his whip six times prior to the 100m which is one time more than permitted.

R8 Taylahs Secret - checked near the 100m to avoid the heels of Arianne (NZ) which shifted in before being straightened by its rider, Ryan Maloney. Rider Patrick Moloney was warned for using his whip seven times prior to the 100m, which is two times more than permitted under the new rules.

R8 Kelkea - rider Harry Coffey was warned for using his whip eight times prior to the 100m which is three times more than permitted under the new rules. H Coffey stated in his opinion it would be suited on tracks with more give.

I can understand if your horse is a chance or you need to get out of trouble, but of all these breaches in the rules, very few resulted in even placings.
If your horse is gone, it's gone.
This is where a great deal of damage is done to the horse, the horse doesn't have the capability of determining the cause of hurt in a race situation. It leads to bleeding, fractures, heart attacks, broken legs, muscle cartilage damage, shin splints and bowed tendons because the horse will over extend beyond it's limits.
This is why so many breakdowns occur and why many good horses lose all form.
If you've got a lap full of horse and don't think you'll make it to the line, then use the whip. If you're leading or chasing the leader and you think you have a chance use the whip. But belting the living daylights out of a no hoper (this race) does nobody any favours.
Trainers can say "you didn't use the whip enough", but that's just an excuse, I'm quite sure the trainer would rather have a sound horse to go on with, than a breakdown, vets, osteopaths, chiropractors etc etc.
Stewards aren't going to penalise a jockey when the horse is struggling for not using the whip.
Just my opinion.

In NZ you see very little whip use before the home bend.

The rule here is a jockey can use the whip on six consecutive strides at any part of the race then the rider must place the whip hand back on the reins for six consecutive strides.

From the 200m whip use is unrestricted provided the horse is in contention for a stake-bearing place.

Victorian stewards have been giving jockeys two warnings & two reprimands before the penalties increase to fines
ample time to become accustomed to the new rule imo
