dunbar this made me laugh. answer to peta? we're removing the whips, but from now on all riders will carry buzzers.

He might not be right about this particular issue, but winning a few thousand races counts for something in my book, particularly when he is talking about a jockey-related issue.

I'm pretty sure that he wasnt a big proponent of banning whips when he rode considering he hit horses about as hard as anyone. Of course he hasn't actually said anything publicly about this to my knowledge, Moss just dropped his name a few times. Of course it is idiotic to not pay attention to people who press for rule changes that will have no effect on them or to think he would have thought about the long term consequences of such a rule change. Maybe he can sell a video about how to bet on a race where there is no whips used?
