i did a search and found this:

'Rather than it being an automatic breach when a rider uses the whip eight times on the Flat and nine times over jumps, the figures become the trigger point for the stewards to review the ride in question.


Stewards will then consider how the rider has used the whip in the course of exceeding the allowed number before deciding whether a breach has occurred and a penalty is warranted.'

Yeah, there were daily suspensions of multiple riders and it wasn't changing, so they threatened boycotts and the like...so it was amended.
