A little bit of commonsense (but only a little bit)...The Appeal Panel in NSW has halved a $2,000 fine handed to Michael Rodd by Racing NSW stewards for excessive whip use aboard the Bart Cummings-trained Faint Perfume in the Vinery Stud Stakes at Rosehill on April 3. The Appeal Panel dismissed the appeal but slashed the penalty to $1,000.
