I like this idea and will add!
I've started a Japan racing thread also as we have so many running from horses transplanted there and they've got some great racing over there.

Awesome. You may need to get me up to date on who's who there right now. And since I don't know I guess that goes to show a thread is needed : )

The "ban" is actually the equivalent of "getting days" here in the US. The UK has some pretty insane whip use rules....like these guys are supposed to count in their heads how many times they whip the horse in each furlong. They have more on their minds...like winning a $1,500,000 race. The "whip count" is really low, too...something like 3 or 4 strikes in a furlong. Seems like they'd just be best served by not allowing the jocks to carry whips...it seems to be going that way anyway. I don't know, getting six days for "over use" of the whip after I win a race like that, I wouldn't be too upset. It's a mandated vacation at that point. I think these riders pay more attention to the whip rule in the day-to-day races.
