Darley wants new whip rules re-examined

KEVIN DARLEY, chief executive of the Professional Jockeys Association, wants the new whip rules to be re-examined by the British Horseracing Authority.

The former champion Flat jockey feels the new rules are not acting as a deterrent and are threatening to take away competitiveness from the sport.

He said: “The penalties are horrendous. Jockeys are trying to remain competitive and that is what they are struggling with.
