Walsh and Carberry call for common sense in whip row

RUBY WALSH hopes common sense will prevail over the new whip regulations.

Walsh was the first high-profile National Hunt jockey to fall foul of the new rules at Aintree on Saturday when he was adjudged to have struck his mount once more than the allowed eight times when winning on Edgardo Sol.

He was banned for five days, which he is appealing against next week, and one more infringement will see him miss 10 days.
