British Horseracing Authority to cut penalties for excessive whip use

Jockeys found guilty of excessively using the whip will face lesser penalties as a result of an amendment in the rules. The number of uses remains at seven in flat races and eight over jumps. But a rider going one strike over the limit will now receive a two-day ban rather than five.

Sir Henry Cecil wishful thinking on trainers` title

On winning an 11th trainers title, Cecil told BBC Look East: "I think that's wishful thinking. "Richard Hannon has got a lot more runners, we're thin on the ground."

Racing bosses unhappy with bookmakers £72.4m Levy Board deal

British horse racing will receive an estimated £72.4m from the bookies. Bookmakers have reached agreement with the horse racing industry to put up to £72.4m into the sport next year. But the chairman of the British Horseracing Authority Paul Roy says the levy is too low and "unreflective of the modern betting environment." The deal means the Government will not be called in to decide what bookies pay to the sport as they did last year. Roy believes the le

Ginger McCain`s incredible journey

Donald McCain - always known as Ginger - ate, drank and slept Aintree and the Grand National, so much so that when he was dubbed "Mr Aintree" during the glory years of Red Rum, it stuck. More importantly, with their big, populist personalities, trainer and horse made a necessary contribution to reviving the flagging fortunes of the world's most famous horse race. During the 1970s, there was much talk of Aintree closing and, consequently, the future of wha
