After receiving a "whip ban" he came up with this purler when hauled up before the disciplinary panel.
"The independent disciplinary panel which considered Danny Brock’s use of a modified whip on a horse that was found to have been marked by its use decided it was a “case of mistake rather than deliberate conduct” according to the panel’s written reasons for its decision to ban him for seven days, which were finally published on Monday.
Brock used the whip, which had two rubber bands wrapped around the flap, when riding Resurrected, a three-year-old filly, to victory in a low-grade race at Chelmsford City in September. Resurrected had been backed down from an early price of 100-1, then from 25-1 on course, before starting the race at 10-1 and was found to have suffered “minor weals” in three places as a result of Brock’s use of the whip.
He was banned for seven days at a hearing in October, having initially been fined £140 for using a modified whip before the weals on Resurrected were discovered.
Brock’s explanation of how the elastic bands came to be attached to his whip is detailed is the panel’s findings. The jockey told the hearing he sometimes uses bands around his wrists to hold his silks in place and keeps these on the gear stick of his car before taking them into the course.
He believed he had transferred some bands on to a spare whip “on some previous occasion to his Chelmsford ride in an absent-minded way” and then took this whip into the course by mistake. “He entirely accepted he was to blame for this but insisted it was just negligent error on his part.”"

Danny Brock rides Sea Willow in our second race.
After receiving a "whip ban" he came up with this purler when hauled up before the disciplinary panel.
"The independent disciplinary panel which considered Danny Brock’s use of a modified whip on a horse that was found to have been marked by its use decided it was a “case of mistake rather than deliberate conduct” according to the panel’s written reasons for its decision to ban him for seven days, which were finally published on Monday.
Brock used the whip, which had two rubber bands wrapped around the flap, when riding Resurrected, a three-year-old filly, to victory in a low-grade race at Chelmsford City in September. Resurrected had been backed down from an early price of 100-1, then from 25-1 on course, before starting the race at 10-1 and was found to have suffered “minor weals” in three places as a result of Brock’s use of the whip.
He was banned for seven days at a hearing in October, having initially been fined £140 for using a modified whip before the weals on Resurrected were discovered.
Brock’s explanation of how the elastic bands came to be attached to his whip is detailed is the panel’s findings. The jockey told the hearing he sometimes uses bands around his wrists to hold his silks in place and keeps these on the gear stick of his car before taking them into the course.
He believed he had transferred some bands on to a spare whip “on some previous occasion to his Chelmsford ride in an absent-minded way” and then took this whip into the course by mistake. “He entirely accepted he was to blame for this but insisted it was just negligent error on his part.”"
Yeah, YBA Danny.
