Have another look at the rerun. I think most people will see that the winner led virtually from start to finish.

Many posters seem not to read the NHA reports or the rules...
There is a table...applicable to ALL transgressors of the whip rule...by which fines and suspensions are meted out...it increases all the time with the jocks "history" in this regard..
Khumalo was the first one to be fined according to this table and since then he has had many many more transgressions so...in a manner of speech...he is leading the transgressions list and will therefore always be the first to feel the increased wrath of the NHA and a heavier penalty...until he learns to abide by the rules which are the same for each and every jockey....

What absolute nonsense where was the horse harmed?
From what I hear the horse pulled up without a single welt mark from the crop
Did anyone consult the horses when the twelve count strike rate was bought in
How many strikes defines cruelty in some eyes one Six maybe 15
In our day 6 at the headmaster is now considered cruel I can tell you it wasn't so bad and then one carried the stripes with pride
All to their

Your comment is shocking, if you are indeed here to save the horses, your opinion should be no whips in racing or no racing at all rather than that opinion towards just one individual.

This is a fairly new rule worldwide, do you think great jockeys of yesteryear were all 12 strike counters. Further there is clearly misconceptions and ignorance towards the padding of the new whips which does not harm horses.

Poor jocks, you try to win the biggest race and you get heavily criticized and punished, you don't ride them out, you get labeled a cheat and also get fined. Doomed if you do or you don't.

Considerate and Consistent decision making is the biggest challenge in horse racing. I'm saying punish him but be considerate of all circumstances and consistent in dishing out the punishment.

Lastly there is a reason why Bling has a following in KZN, go look at his riding and stats on July day, I understand this platform has many punters, whom I'm sure back Bling on big days because he is a

Although I agree that due to the letter of the current law in SA , Bling has indeed transgressed and therefore receives this punishment. I find it rather disturbing the use of the word " harm" and then the plural "animals" I am going to assume that you have evidence of this and have reported it to the relevant

Very good point Mrs Lerena
Sadly Bling is a repeat offender and he can probably afford this. Take a break 2 weeks into the new season
I am not very pro NHA but in this case the rules are very clear

Oh my, imagine if Cousin Casey got up to be beat the winner.

Not talking from the pocket but 1st and 2nd Jockeys ' did wrong ' but the result stands !

The issue is not the intention/integrity/gamble of the jockey but the number of strokes. One cannot blame the jockey, in the heat and adrenaline of the moment remembering how many strokes he gave throughout the race. Hence why the strokes should be limited to 6 max. That is easy for the jocks and the stipes to control. It will also improve the image of the

Hi Vickster

We have had another look at the comment that you posted on the Hollywoodbets Durban July and have allowed it.
There are certain innacuracies in your assertions - including regarding 'the use of the whip by the rider of the winner on the head and face of Cousin Casey'.
There is no evidence of this and the Stipes report confirms so.

Watch the final stages of the race again - https://youtu.be/lSawcNmhklg?t=108

Here is the Stipes report again:

RACE 7 Ref : 793 (Turf) Hollywoodbets Durban July (Grade 1) : R5 000 000 : About 2200m

Starter : S Leslie Loading Time : 1:19 sec No. of Runners : 18

Carded Time: 16:00:00
Rescheduled Time: –
Off Time: 16:02:00
Provisional Result: 16:06:12
All Clear: 16:16:42

THE STARTER REPORTED:
a) FUTURE SWING (R Fourie) was restless in the stalls. Lost 2 lengths.
b) SON OF RAJ (C Habib) was restless in the stalls.

THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED :
a) Approaching the 1000m, as the pace of this Race slowed ROYAL VICTORY (M Yeni) and in turn BARBARESCO (G Lerena) were steadied. As a result SEE IT AGAIN (P Strydom) was eased off the heels of BARBARESCO (G Lerena) resulting in FUTURE SWING (R Fourie) being tightened and unbalanced alongside the inside running rail and HLUHLUWE (R A Venniker) being steadied outwards. Immediately thereafter Jockey D De Gouveia being under the impression that something was amiss with SHOEMAKER (D De... read more

Hey Cecil
He was getting a fine either way
Strike the horse 8 times and he would have got 6 months for not riding out
Dave The King is the one there won't be a three year old in the first four
Don't tell
