RECURRING themes emerged on Wednesday as the industry responded to the latest changes to the whip rules, with "common-sense at last being applied" an opinion prevalent among jockeys, while trainers raged at the mess the sport has found itself in.
Well l think we have reached the right point now and l think everybody just needs to get on with it with the Cheltenham Festival just 19 days away.

ROYAL ACADEMY, famed for winning the 1990 Breeders' Cup Mile under an inspired ride from Lester Piggott, has died aged 25.

The son of Nijinsky, who was trained by the great Vincent O'Brien, died of old age at Coolmore Australia.
Who can forget the wonderful finish Piggott conjured from him in America.
