Ive heard of some riders who are supposed to do it. I don't have a problem with whipping a horse to make it go faster before or during a race. I'm just not sure if it works.
Another answer:
An interesting theory comes from a bettor who won't bet a horse, or bet in a horse race when the caveat "No Whipping" is published. He's very clear about where to whip a horse during a race. He doesn't mention whipping a horse before a race.

Personal Opinion:
Whipping a horse before a race seems to me a little like spanking a child before the child cleans his/her room. It's at least cruel. As to its effectiveness, I'd ask: if the roles were reversed, would you like to be whipped before performing?
