Tasmanian harness racing trainer & driver, Gavin Kelly, has been fined $1,000 for not carrying a whip. He is appealing against the ruling. "I was told that it was on safety grounds. I was told I have to carry a whip, I didn't have to use it … from that point I haven't raced because the fines would rack up if I continued to not carry a whip." |

March 19, 2021 by Gavin Kelly Public, political and media pressure has seen authorities finally come to the negotiating table. Discussions have been positive and I have presented a path to resolution. The ball is currently with the Office of Racing Integrity and I am hopeful that in the near future we can announce a positive outcome. To all those who have been so supportive, thanks again. |
The British Horseracing Authority has recently amended their whip use rules.
