THE BHA sprang a major surprise on Tuesday when announcing fundamental changes to the controversial whip rules, together with revisions to the existing penalties.
The move, which was welcomed by the Professional Jockeys' Association, follows an initiative instigated by new BHA chief executive Paul Bittar who is determined to avoid the issue dominating headlinesat the Cheltenham Festival, which gets underway in less than three weeks

Silvestre De Sousa, runner-up behind Paul Hanagan in the UK’s Jockey Championship last season, will be riding full time for Godolphin this year along with stable jockey Frankie Dettori.
Brazilian-born De Sousa joined the stable at the start of the Dubai World Cup Carnival and now an arrangement is in place which will see him ride for trainers Saeed bin Suroor and Mahmood al Zarooni on a more permanent basis.

Great move by De Sousa here.
