This examination into the Use of the Whip in British horse racing was undertaken during October and November 2003. Data was collected from 161 races run on 20 racecourses. Three British horse racing disciplines were covered: The 20 racecourses were selected to give a balanced representation of the varied conditions encountered by horse and rider: i.e. Left Handed L-H course; Right Handed R-H course; Figure 8 course; undulating surface; sharp/tight track; a galloping surface. AW Lingfield - AW Southwell - AW Wolverhampton - Flat Ayr - Flat Brighton - Flat Catterick - Flat Newmarket - Flat Redcar - Flat Windsor - Flat Yarmouth - NH Lingfield - NH Haydock - NH Huntingdon - NH Ludlow - NH Market Rasen - NH Newton Abbot - NH Plumpton - NH Uttoxeter - NH Warwick - NH Wetherby The Ground Conditions at the racecourses included: Firm; Good to Firm; Good; Good to Soft; Standard Fibresand; Standard Polytrack (although the artificial surfaces varied in their give and holding). Races studied included all Classes: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H. And they included: Sellers; Claimers; Conditional / Apprentice Jockeys; Amateur Jockeys; Maidens; Nurseries; Handicaps; Novice; Classified Stakes; Listed; Groups 3, 2 and 1. Race distances (approximate) miles and furlongs - m f - included: The 161 races covered featured 2 to 19 runners. Horses' age range in years covered: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. A total of 285 jockeys were studied. Races were split into three sectors for the study: Start (s), Middle (m) and Finish (f). Examples: 6f race = start 0 to 2f; middle 2f to 4f; finish 4f (2 out) to winning post 6f. 2m Chase 13 fences = start: 0 to 3rd fence +; middle: 4th fence to 11th fence; finish: 3 fences out to the line. Individual race data was proportioned to the three sectors and viewed as a whole, and also as part of an overall compilation. Use of the whip data

Notes:
* NB A horse can be whipped in any stage of a race i.e. at the start, in the middle, or at the finish. Therefore, a horse could feature in one or more columns, and, if he won, would appear in "winning horses" twice. This could not apply to horses not whipped that won.
+ The table focuses on the 1st and 2nd finishing positioned horses in a race, and compares the number of times each was whipped, or not. The horse whipped the least is given as won, the horse whipped the most is given as lost, a draw is an equal amount of whips, or if neither are whipped.
