Those cobbled-together new whip laws are really causing a ruckus...They'll severely impact on the spring carnival, according to Victorian Jockeys' Association director Ross Inglis. He's only reflecting the growing discord between Victorian jockeys and stewards over the rules. Three riders who copped went to the Racing Appeals and Disciplinary board, which has quashed the four-day suspensions against Brad Rawiller and Dale Smith and South Australian apprentice Lauren Stojakovic.
