    No because it doesn't hurt them it encourages them to push themselves a bit more! And there are regulations now that stop jockeys whipping if they're way ahead or way behind!

    I dont know much about horse racing, but it looks like it would hurt the horse so absulutly not! Animals should always be treated with perfect respect.
