Trainers, owners and breeders will continue to push for further changes to the whip rules which they say are still too restrictive.

A panel headed by Michael Duffy will hear submissions in Melbourne on Tuesday regarding a revision of the penalties for jockeys who overuse the whip.

The review was called in light of changes made to the rules last week amid the threat of strike action by jockeys.

On the same day, leading rider Corey Brown will have his appeal against the severity of a 15 meeting suspension and hefty fine heard in Sydney.

Under the revised rules, a jockey may strike a horse seven times in the last 100 metres of a race, a compromise to their submission that they be able to use their own discretion over the final stages.

The original rule introduced on August 1 also allowed jockeys to use the whip with a forehand action seven times inside the last 100 metres, but not in consecutive strides.

Anthony Cummings will represent the NSW Trainers' Association to again put forward the case for discretion supported by Thoroughbred Breeders NSW president Trevor Lobb.

"We think it should be left to the jockeys' discretion," Cummings said.

"The rules are there if they use the whips excessively."

Lobb agreed saying the restrictions were not popular.

"The jockeys are not happy, the owners and breeders are not happy with any restrictions in the last 100 metres," Lobb said.

"The jockeys are professionals and to restrict the number of times they can hit the horses in that time is not good for racing.

"Giving the discretion to the rider is better for our jockeys and gives the horse every opportunity.

"The rules are already there regarding whether there is excessive use or non excessive use."

Aushorse Marketing chief executive Peter McGauran, who represented stakeholders at the meeting of the Australian Racing Board which initially rejected the submission, said the major investment by owners and breeders was being ignored.

"With all due respect to the service providers, the trainers and the jockeys, owners and breeders have invested heavily, taken the biggest risks and seem to have the least say," he said.

If agreement can be reached by the review panel this week, the amended rules are expected to be in place by Saturday.
