WINSTAR STALLION JERSEY TRAINER SCHISTL SAYS WHIP FUSS IS MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING by Bill Finley LAOBAN DIES Not that any riders have or plan to ask him, but if anyone wants an educated opinion on the banning of the whip at Monmouth Park, retired-rider-turned-trainer Rafael Schistl will be glad to tell them what he thinks. Schistl should understand the issue better than most. During a globetrotting career as a jockey, he rode in 164 races in Norway, winning 29 of them. The list includes three runnings of the country=s top race, the Norsk Derby. Norway is the only other country where a whip ban is in place. They haven=t been permitted there since 2009. AThey are making too big a thing out of this,@ Schistl said of the Monmouth jockeys. AThey need to just deal with it.@ Schistl was born in Brazil and rode in a number of countries in Europe, as well as in Dubai, during a career that started in 2005. Tired of battling weight issues, in 2019, he decided to not only become a trainer, but to do so in the U.S. He started his training Laoban | Sarah Andrew career earlier this year at Tampa Bay Downs, where he won 10 Laoban (Uncle Mo--Chattertown, by Speightstown), a leading races.
