Flint falls foul of whip rules

Jockeys Rhys Flint and Jamie Moore experienced flip-sides of the latest whip regulations in a close finish to the Betfair Brings You Better Value Novices’ Hurdle at Fontwell.

Flint and Heavenstown took the race by a diminishing neck from the Moore-ridden Ballyfoy and while the winning rider was given a five-day ban by the British Horseracing Authority’s stewards at the Sussex course, Moore was left feeling frustrated by the restrictions.
