Fox and Hughes banned at Salisbury

Kieren Fox and Richard Hughes were the first jockeys to fall foul of new whip guidelines set out by the British Horseracing Authority, which came into effect on Monday.

Fox, who claims 3lb, was handed a 15-day ban at Salisbury after hitting Orthodox Lad 11 times – seven times in the final furlong – when winning the Bathwick Tyres Salisbury Handicap by a short head.
