HARRY SKELTON became the first jump jockey to be banned under the new whip guidelines after being found guilty of using his stick with excessive frequency at Wincanton on Thursday.

The stewards looked into Skelton's ride on El Diego, runner-up in the 3m1½f handicap chase, and found the rider had hit the seven-year-old nine times, which is one over the permitted eight.

Skelton was suspended for five days - October 27-31 inclusive - and also forfeited his riding fee and percentage of prize-money.

He said: "I broke the rules - it's as simple as that. I was trying my hardest on a tricky horse and his owner, trainer and I miscounted."
