Harry Derham rides Brampour to Greatwood Handicap win

Keiran Burke makes a name for himself at Cheltenham

With so many ongoing trials and tribulations, it's forgivable that the British Horseracing Authority is misspelling new trainer Keiran Burke's name in official documentation. "Kieran" Burke is announced as being responsible for Holmwood Legend as the horse and his jockey-turned-trainer return to Cheltenham, the scene of their greatest triumph.

Champion jump jockey Tony McCoy says the sport's new whip rules have forced him to change his riding style. He will serve a five-day ban later this month after falling foul of the rules for the first time at Ffos Las. "If you've incurred a penalty like that then it will double the next time," McCoy.

Breeders` Cup: Smith Gets Classic Redemption on Drosselmeyer
