Jump jockey Charlotte Jones has claimed an unwanted place in racing history after becoming the first rider whose breach of the controversial new whip rules has led to disqualification.
The 28-year-old’s riding of the Jimmy Moffatt-trained Lunar Discovery who finished second in a mares’ bumper race at Ayr on February 14 was referred to the BHA’s Whip Review Committee.
She used her whip 11 times in the closing stages in driving Lunar Discovery to finish a head behind the winner Hierarchy.
And as she exceeded the permitted whip stroke level for jumps races of seven by four or more, her mount had to be disqualified.
