P.Robl on Lucy's Cash Sat at Rosehill kept flogging her with the whip and should have realised she was switching the tail in pain and lugging out but he's apparently a slow thinker  as soon as he straightened her and he 's out with the whip again and same reaction from Lucy .Should have won imo.Stewards noticed and gave it a mention in their report but no penalty.apart from the little embarrasment such a public outing may have caused this excuse for a jockey. Thumb Down
When questioned, P
Robl, rider of Lucy’s Cash, stated that the filly was inclined to lay out when placed under pressure
in the straight, which necessitated him having to stop riding with the whip and straighten on a
number of occasions. He said when struck with the whip inside the 200m Lucy’s Cash appeared
to particularly resent this and shifted out abruptly approaching the 100m. P Robl agreed with
Stewards that, in hindsight, he should have desisted from using the whip on the filly when it
became obvious that it reacted adversely to its use

thats fair comment,but he is a flogger,i have always maintained that its more important how you ride/rate them to the turn,than how hard you hit them in the straight

So I've got lost in all the whip stuff...where's it at...the full implementation of the whip changes was delayed was it not?

I noticed this one...

'Under the new rules, connections of the second horse Sirmione would have had the right to protest, said chairman of stewards Terry Bailey. Hall had "two or three" previous fines for whip use, Bailey said.'

I mean clearly for this race the chance of a protest being upheld would have seemed a fair chance?
