TORONTO, May 29 - The Ontario Thoroughbred horse racing industry today announced a new Use of the Whip Initiative.

The Initiative asks all jockeys in the first two races of every card at Woodbine from Wednesday, June 3, 2009 through Sunday, June 28, 2009 to use a Lite Touch Whip. Jockeys will have the option of using the Lite Touch Whip for the remainder of the card on each day.

Also, during the program, jockeys can use no more than 2 consecutive strikes once the whip is in use, allowing reasonable time for the horse to respond.
