Jockeys are set to face stiffer penalties for manoeuvres that might impact on the safety or fairness of a race by causing interference. The change is part of moves to take effect from May 23 with the intention of providing a greater deterrent to riders, and comes as the result of British Horseracing Authority consultation with the Professional Jockeys Association, as well as the National Trainers Federation and Racehorse Owners Association.Under the new structure, Andrea Atzenis three-day ban incurred for careless riding in a controversial renewal of last years St Leger at Doncaster would now carry a ban of seven to eight days for improper riding. The BHA said there was a common feeling among those consulted that the rules and penalty structures should be reviewed during what is a usual annual process, following a series of offences in high-profile races in 2015.Instances where a rider manoeuvres during a race, when he knows or ought reasonably to have known, that by doing so interference would occur, are to be categorised as improper rather than careless and are set to carry a higher penalty of up to 21 days, with a minimum of four days for interference-related offences.In contrast, the impact of bans for the most minor offences will be reduced.One-day suspensions are to be removed from the bottom of the penalty range for careless riding in order that minor offences which would previously have incurred a one-day suspension will now receive a caution.The top end of the penalty range for careless riding is to be increased from nine days to 14 days.However, penalties for whip-related offences are to remain unchanged.

We are grateful to the PJA for their constructive participation in this project.The alteration to the penalty range for careless riding serves to, at the top end, provide a greater disincentive to ride in a careless manner, and at the same time, by dropping one day suspensions, ensure that riders are not incurring unwarranted suspensions for minor offences.Stier added: We are aware that niggly one-day offences may seem a minor penalty, but they do have an impact on jockeys as it causes them to lose potential earnings for a day.We have agreed with the PJA that it is appropriate to commence applying suspensions for careless riding at a level of offence which has previously incurred a two-day suspension.Therefore offences which would have incurred a one-day suspension will now instead attract a caution.On the subject of the whip, Stier said: We remain satisfied overall with the way in which British riders are adhering to the whip rules. We are encouraged by the ongoing decrease in the number of whip offences.The increased number of offences in Group or Grade One races in 2015 did prompt us to undertake a more detailed analysis of the data to see whether a trend was developing. That analysis revealed no evidence to support the development of such a trend.We do not see a need for further review of the penalties for whip offences as long as the downward trend in breaches continues, including those in high-value races.The British jockeys at Cheltenham recently showed that it is possible to ride within the rules in valuable races. We expect riders to continue such an approach throughout the remainder of the jump season and into the Flat season.

The Rams are looking at a stiff challenge against the Bears. HT comes into this contest with a meager 3-13 overall record. The NAIA school from Austin, has struggled this season in the Red River Athletic Conference, sporting a mere 2-6 league ledger. Baylor is looking up in the Big 12 standings as well with a 2-3 conference mark. The Bears enter this contest off a hard-fought 63-61 loss at Kansas State. Still, BU is an impressive 9-1 at the Ferrell Center this year and sports a 28-4 record against in-state opponents since the 2011-12 campaign. This marks the first-ever meeting between these two teams on the hardwood. The Rams enter this contest with a four-game losing streak in tow, with the last outing resulting in a 131-100 loss to league-leading Our Lady of the Lake. The 100 points marked the highest scoring output of the season for Huston-Tillotson, powered by a 36-of-58 showing from the free-throw line. However, it wasnt nearly enough to end Our Lady of the Lakes perfect RRAC season thus far. Still, Shai Fields was superb in defeat, going 11-of-19 from the floor and netting 30 points. Malcolm Ballard added 19 points On the season, the Rams are averaging 75.0 ppg, but are giving up a generous 85.2 ppg. In conference play, that number has jumped sllightly to 87.dddddddddddd4 ppg, factoring in the ridiculous 131 points allowed last time out. The addition of Fields to the lineup recently has certainly helped out. In the three games he has played, Fields is averaging 17.0 ppg. Ballard is next in the scoring column at 12.2 ppg, followed by Quincy Durden and Darion Cooks with 11.5 and 10.0 ppg, respectively. Strong defense is what fuels the Baylor attack. The Bears are limiting the opposition to just 57.6 ppg, while holding foes under 40 percent shooting overall (.394) and under 30 percent from behind the arc (.291). In addition, the team boasts of a +9.9 rebounding margin. At the offensive end, Baylor is averaging a modest 68.6 ppg, but there is some depth in terms of scoring, as four Bears are currently in double figures. Taurean Prince leads the charge with 12.1 ppg. Kenny Chery is a close second at 11.2 ppg. Johnathan Motley and Rico Gathers are averaging 10.0 ppg each. The 6-foot-8, 275-pound Gathers leads the Big 12 and ranks fifth nationally with 11.2 rebounds per game. Baylor hit six 3-pointers in the first half and held a nine-point lead (33-24) at the break against Kansas State, but could not sustain the strong play and faltered in the second half in a two-point loss to the Wildcats. Chery was 8- of-14 from the floor and hit four 3-pointers en route to a game-high 21 points. Prince poured in 20 points, but there was little offensive help elsewhere in the narrow loss. ' ' '
