Whipless

With the recent utilization of Eight Belles at the Kentucky Derby this weekend, a lot of horse racing professionals are re-examining the rules and traditions utilized in the sport. One rule change that’s being considered is removing the whip from racing. A growing number of trainers, jockeys, and of course PETA, support this idea. The general consensus is that it’s an unnecessary tradition and doesn’t raise the level of competition.

I’m not much of a horseracing fan, so they can do what ever they want concerning whips. As long they can still be used by Indiana Jones and in the bedroom, I have no problems with its deletion from racing. Now, you take it away from Indiana and then we’d have problems

I don't know, I'm pretty sure soon Indiana may have to replace the whip for a cane.
