Ascot to refund spectators made to wear orange stickers

Ascot: Somersby wins Victor Chandler Chase

Whip penalties for jockeys may be relaxed says BHA chief Paul Bittar

The new chief executive of the British Horseracing Authority, Paul Bittar, has indicated the controversial penalty structure for jockeys who break new whip rules could be eased.

"Getting the proportion of the penalty aligned with the level of breach is the challeng

Winning trainer Donald McCain defends the Grand National

Donald McCain has mounted a spirited defence of the Grand National after making plans for four entries in 2012. Protests followed when two runners died in 2011, but McCain, who trained Ballabriggs to victory, rejected the criticisms of "Once a year TV viewers". "What happened wasn't Aintree's fault. In Dooney's Gate's case, it could have taken place on any course at any time." I would like to give him one or two runs before going back there, and he'll tell

Whip row reignites

Before Christmas, there was a definite feeling that the row over the new regulations governing jockeys and the use of their whips was simmering down. Fewer riders were infringing, and conventional wisdom began to have it that changes implemented by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) in October had simply needed a bedding-in period. But the controversy was spectacularly reignited last week when well over 100 days of suspensions were handed down, seven

Storm damage at Ayr racetrack forces call-off

Tuesday's race meeting at Ayr was abandoned after strong winds damaged facilities at the Craigie track. Clerk of the course Emma Marley had given the meeting the go-ahead following an 0715 GMT inspection due to the threat of rain. But the fierce winds left a tree in a dangerous position, meaning the track had no public address system, which is essential for public safety. Debris on the roads had prevented trainer Lucinda Russell reaching Ayr. The Milnath

Cheltenham Town decide against racecourse move

Cheltenham have shelved plans to relocate their ground to the town's racecourse at Prestbury Park. The League Two outfit, who are based at Whaddon Road, have been in discussions with racecourse owners about a joint venture since 2008.

Big Buck`s seeks 14th straight win in Ascot`s Long Walk Hurdle
