Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. While several major racetracks in the U.S. continue to debate what is the best set of rules to put in place regarding what jockeys can and cannot do to encourage their horses, Woodbine has embarked on an experiment that limits what jockeys can do with their whips and may be seen as a blueprint for the rest of the industry to follow. Starting Oct. 18, experimental rules, which will be in place up to closing day, Dec. 15, were put in place that allow only for underhanded whipping. The riders are no longer allowed to cock their whips and reach back and strike their mounts. Nor can they strike the horse in the belly or flank area. Whether or not the rule will become permanent in 2020 will be decided by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), but with the experiment so far not encountering any serious problems, it is likely that the new regulations are here to stay. The Woodbine experiment is part of an effort throughout North America to change the perception of racing and to show the public, animal rights activists and politicians that the sport believes the safety of the animal is a top priority and is intent on making substantive changes.

Woodbine isn=t tipping its hand when it comes to what recommendations the track is likely to make to the AGCO regarding whipping rules for the 2020 meet. AWhat we need to do is take a deep dive and have a chance to review all the data from the pilot,@ Woodbine VP of Thoroughbred Racing Jonathan Zammit said. AThen, it=s just sitting down with stakeholders, the commission, the vets, the horsemen, the jockeys, to see where the commission=s head is at moving forward. It=s a bit premature at this point to comment on what direction this might go.@ The data available so far has not revealed anything that suggests the experiment is not working. There have been no apparent problems with safety during the races and the handle has remained steady, showing that the bettors haven=t adjusted their wagering habits during the experiment. AFrom a track operator=s perspective, we have a sample size, but not a full sample size,@ Zammit said. AIt has been a change and we realize how big a change this has been for the jockeys and we=re very thankful they are participating and allowing us to evaluate this pilot program. We=re seeing no significant changes in the behavior of our patrons or on the handle on our races. Right now, nothing major has popped out at us.@ A sampling of opinions from Woodbine-based jockeys reveals a colony that is not in favor of the new rules. AIt=s awkward and a lot of people aren=t happy with it, but we know we have to deal with it,@ jockey Gary Boulanger said. AIt=s a very awkward thing for people who have been riding for a while.

    RUNNING WILD, RUNNING FREE?: CHANGING PERCEPTIONS OF WILD HORSES IN THE AMERICAN LANDSCAPE A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science By Andrea Lynn Mott In Partial Fulfillment for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Major Department: History, Philosophy, and Religious Studies May 2014 Fargo, North Dakota North Dakota State University Graduate School Title Running Wild, Running Free: Changing Perceptions of Wild Horses in the American Landscape By Andrea Lynn Mott The Supervisory Committee certifies that this disquisition complies with North Dakota State University’s regulations and meets the accepted standards for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Thomas D. Isern Chair Angela Smith Cynthia Prescott Kevin Sedivec James F. Hoy Approved: July 11, 2014 John Cox Date Department Chair ABSTRACT Since the 1930s, wild horses have become a subject of public concern. They are often showcased as symbols representing the historic past of the western United States. More recently they have become symbols of a mythic, or imagined, west. Writers, scholars, politicians, advocates, ranchers, and land managers are among the few groups who have taken a role in the livelihood of these animals living freely on public rangelands. The protection movement that began in the 1950s and carried over into the 1970s ultimately resulted in the passage of the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act. This act placed all wild horses living on public rangelands under the protection of the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service. Before this legislation individuals in the West could round up wild horses without interference.
