Germany: Germany allows 7 whip strikes throughout the race if the horse finishes in one of the first three places. Less than 7 strikes if the horse is not responding and not amongst the winners. Conclusion Lorcan Williams: 18-day suspension for overuse of the whip on Saturday Credit: Alan Crowhurst / Getty Images Details of the initiative were confirmed after it was announced in February that British racing is to carry out a widespread consultation on use of the whip.

If you break the rules, the horse should be thrown out because it will only happen a few times after that."

News and Media

Opponents believe it should not be used for "encouraging" horses to run faster and that humans hitting animals is a bad look. Despite criticism, the BHA ultimately hopes the new rules remove the whip as a subject of debate, particularly at big meetings, such as Cheltenham and Aintree's Grand National Festival in April, which it sees as a "shop window" for the sport that reaches beyond its core audience. Each of the Racing League's 12 teams will select one of their 30 horses to contest each race. The squads will be announced three weeks before the competition starts.

Emma Slawinski, RSPCA director of policy, prevention and campaigns, said not banning the whip for encouragement was "a real missed opportunity for horse welfare". The new project is the brainchild of Championship Horse Racing, led by former Swindon Town FC chairman Jeremy Wray. The use of the whip in British racing is restricted to safety and encouragement. By “encouragement” we mean using the whip as an aid to activate and focus the horse, so the horse realises its potential by giving its best. Use of the whip to coerce is not permitted, and the rules are designed to reflect this. Rules and limits on use The following sets out a summary of data around whip ride referrals and offences from the introduction of new rules earlier in 2023 up until 29 October 23.

Following the 2022 report into the use of the whip, the rules regarding the use of the whip in British racing are being revised. We are pleased that the PJA has agreed to review its consultation processes in the light of this,” he said. Supporters of the whip believe it is a crucial tool for a rider, which helps with safety and is intrinsic to the business of thoroughbreds competing against each other.
