Racing:Champion jump jockey Tony McCoy fell foul of the new whip rules for the first time at Ffos Las today.
McCoy was deemed to have used his whip once more than the allotted eight times on Jonjo O’Neill’s Caddie Master, runner-up in the three-mile pearns.co.uk Putting Patients First Handicap Hurdle won by Frontier Dancer.
The stewards ruled McCoy had used his whip with excessive frequency, and he will be suspended on November 20-24 inclusive.
