NZ Harness Racing recently updated their Use of the Whip Regulations
Also updated the penalty guide regarding whip breaches |
Quote:
A key change is the introduction of a sliding scale of penalties for breach of the ten strike requirement based on the number of strikes made |
Quote:
"No horseman is permitted to use their whip in a striking motion on more than ten occasions inside the final 400 metres. This is inclusive of 'backhanders' and the use applies to the horse, harness and/or sulky." |
Quote:
Sliding scale,,1st offence: 11-13 strikes $200 14-16 strikes $300 17+ strikes $500 |

David Pires was fined for whip infringements aboard Life On The Wire today Fined for being 4 strikes over the limit before the final 100m & for using the whip 3 times in consecutive strides |
Quote:
"No horseman is permitted to use their whip in an uninterrupted manner. Whether a horseman is using the whip free of the rein or retaining a hand or hands on the rein(s) the use must be sufficiently disrupted and distinct pauses must be visible" |
Quote:
"No horseman shall apply the whip to a runner which is out of contention for either a stake or dividend bearing place or on any horse which is not responding or unable to hold its position in the race." |
