Whip abuse........again!

I know about Gabriel Hannon taking a sabbatical Rory - he was around for a fair bit though before he gave it up the first time around and spent long enough claiming seven. I'm struggling a little to swallow the assertions in the RP that Hannon is/was as talented as Rodney Masters tried to make him out to be!

Think this is the second time a jock has said "right that´s it i´m quitting if this ban stands" - have some balls and just quit if you´re going to and if not then don´t threaten to.

Yes, the other was Christian Williams following an incident in a selling hurdle at Worcester where his ride was deemed unacceptable and he didn't make sufficient effort to gain the best possible position.
I think these jocks think that if they threaten to quit the stewards are going to turn round and say "Oh no, Mr Williams/Burke, we won't give you a punishment because if you quit, you'll be a huge loss to the racing game" and fans are going to sign a petition to keep them riding.
Get real.
