    I am thinking that Kerryn has had a suspension and is back to a Caution again. She has not learnt what a flicking action is and will probably manage to reach a 4th offence (suspension) by the end of the month (the end of the trial period)

    Tell me how the winner of the first race at Melton Saturday night is a flicking action. If you lean a little to the side can you use your shoulder?

    I think you're right John but it isn't as bad as Kerryn's sidearm action

    The drivers have been warned coming into Saturday night

    Whip Use

    HRV Stewards advise that in accordance with the notice of increased penalties in feature races, drivers will not be afforded a caution for whip use should they offend in a Group 1 event. Furthermore, as previously advised where HRV Stewards form an opinion that a driver has not attempted to comply with the applicable AHRR (Rules), a penalty greater than the advertised minimum may be applied.

    KM very lucky not to be cautioned again in R3 last night - she has no idea of what a flicking action is

    They are keeping the new rules
    BUT the reset each month is RIDICULOUS - it means you are free to break the rules once a month!

    I couldn't split the 2yo's in R3 at Geelong even when Trots Vision put up the photo so when I saw that Ross Payne the driver of the winner was cautioned for whip use, I thought that it could be grounds for a protest but when I looked at the replay the driver of the second horse was little better.
    Thinking we can enforce a flicking action is becoming a joke
    I am all for no whips - simply let drivers carry them for horse management (safety)

    Oh Kerryn (not Kerrin)
    She starts off well using a flicking action in R1 albeit a somewhat continuously
    It deteriorates in R3
    Gets a bit worse in R4
    and by R7 it has lost all resemblance to flicking and is all arm
    She is a serial offender

    Junior was whacking away like a spaced-out heavy metal drummer and gets fined $750 of his $3600 share of second place money. The equivalent of twenty lashes with the contents from a day old McDonald's salad bowl. Shannon Suvalko gets fined $1200 for the same offence on the winner. Which one stood out to you? Where is the fairness? What were the thought processes of the stewards in dealing out the penalties? Not much, I think.

    Great to see a big crowd on track though. Younger people might not be believe me but they used to allow people to actually go to the track to watch trots in Victoria. And, you didn't have to book a sit-down meal to get in!
