Where whip use was clearly visible, the venue, the hand in which the whip was held and the names of the jockey and the horse were determined. Comparisons of whip hand use between cities were made using the C<\/jats:styled-content>hi\u2010squared test.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>A total of 771 identifications were made, 328 from M<\/jats:styled-content>elbourne and 443 from S<\/jats:styled-content>ydney, representing 78 jockeys and 506 horses. Right\u2010handed whip use was identified in 244 (74.39%) photographs of M<\/jats:styled-content>elbourne races and in 313 (70.65%) photographs of S<\/jats:styled-content>ydney races. There was no difference between right\u2010handed whip use in M<\/jats:styled-content>elbourne and Sydney (P = 0.53), nor in the handedness of whip use by individual jockeys (P = 0.74). Predominantly right\u2010handed jockeys demonstrated significantly stronger dominance (84.51 \u00b1 14.03%) compared with left\u2010hand dominant riders (71.07 \u00b1 9.40%; P = 0.01). A total of 84 horses were identified being ridden by the same jockey in different races. In 64 of the 84 cases, the whip was used in the same hand in all photographs. In the remaining instances, the whip was observed to be used in both hands by the one jockey.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion<\/jats:title>The findings support the view the whip can be used as an aid to steering during races.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/avj.12196","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,26]],"date-time":"2014-06-26T06:59:13Z","timestamp":1403765953000},"page":"231-234","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Handedness of whip use by A<\/scp>ustralian J<\/scp>ockeys"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"92","author":[{"given":"PK","family":"Knight","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Discipline of Biomedical Science, Sydney Medical School University of Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"NA","family":"Hamilton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Science University of Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","unstructured":"Australian Racing Board.Australian Rules of Racing.http:\/\/www.australianracingboard.com.au\/racing_rules.aspx.
