How come Racing TV’s IQ Data didn’t pick up on this on the day? They know how many miles per hour each horse travels at, how long each horse’s stride length is, how much each horse gains or loses at a fence, how many times each horse breaks wind in the final furlong etc but they don’t know how many times an individual jockey uses their whip. Angus & Josh need to up their game.
Having said that the whip rules where they are dependent on a number are rubbish. Jockeys should be concentrating on riding a horse not counting. How many people have said they were offended by the rides?
