New Jersey Racing Commission Rescinds Whip Ban

New Jersey Racing Commission votes to rescind the whipping ban. Monmouth Park jockeys will be allowed to use their whips to encourage their mounts when the meet kicks off May 7. The Jockeying Guild had been staunchly against the ban, arguing that it raised safety concerns for the riders. The new rules will take effect from July 1. A three-person committee of racing officials will review races to make sure jockey's are in compliance. First-time offenders will lose their share of the purse and receive a three day suspension. If they violate the rules a third time, they will get fined $5,000 and banned for a whole meet.
