The Australian Jockeys Association has urged thoroughbred racing authorities not to be influenced by the decision of Harness Racing officials to ban the whip in that code.Des OKeeffe from the AJA said Racing Australias whip policy for thoroughbred racing was now best practice and said comparing the two codes was like comparing apples and oranges.Harness has used a much longer and thinner whip that has no padding and is in effect more like a stockwhip whereas jockeys now carry a heavily modified, much shorter and softer equestrian style riding crop that relies on a heavily foam padded flap, OKeeffe said.Harness Racing Australia announced on Saturday that whips would be banned in harness racing from September 1 next year.Racing Australia, through a sub-committee led by former chairman of stewards and Racing Australia board member Des Gleeson, has just completed a review of the whip rule in thoroughbred racing which currently permits jockeys to use the whip five times before the 100m of a race, but not in consecutive strides, with no restrictions in the final 100m.We are absolutely confident that the sub-committees recommendations when adopted will actually result in less use overall, while maintaining the safety of the riders and the integrity of our racing and most importantly, the welfare of our horses, OKeeffe said.Riders in Australia are all for responsible encouragement of their mounts and welcome the proposed addition of discretionary powers becoming available to stewards when policing the rule. Without discretion, the existing rule that was in place over the last twelve months didnt make good sense.Racing Australia chairman John Messara, speaking on RSN927 on Monday, said they felt they had made sufficient changes to the whips and the whip regulations to satisfy people.Messara said that they would be saying a little bit more about the outcome of the review shortly, but said there would not be a whole lot of change to the rules, but rather mild alterations.If there are changes at all it will be to give the stewards a tad more discretion, such that they can take the race as a whole rather than one part of the race and look at sort of literal, specific breaches, Messara said.I think youre going to see some changes where there will be possibly less use of the whip at the end of the race, at the terminal part of the race.And Im seeing it myself and the stewards are seeing it, that jockeys are far less keen to use the whip at the end of the race now than they have been in the past.

LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. WOBURN, England -- Ariya Jutanugarn took the Womens British Open lead Saturday at tree-lined Woburn, nearly four months after blowing a late lead in the first major championship of the year.I think I know how to play under pressure, the 20-year-old Thai player said. I know like what I have to focus and the only thing I have to is like focus on what is under my control.In early April in the ANA Inspiration in the California desert, Jutanugarn -- at the time, best known for blowing a two-stroke lead with a closing triple bogey in the 2013 LPGA Thailand -- bogeyed the final three holes to hand the title to Lydia Ko.I really get nervous, especially being my first time leading, Jutanugarn said that afternoon at Rancho Mirage. I got a lot of experience from this week.She put the hard lessons to use in May, winning three straight events to become the LPGA Tours first Thai champion. And Saturday, she shot a bogey-free 6-under 66 to pull two strokes ahead of Mirim Lee.I feel a lot more comfortable, Jutanugarn said. Like especially today, because I didnt hit my iron good, but I still make some birdies.Jutanugarn birdied six of the first 14 holes and closed with four pars to reach 16-under 200 and break the tournament 54-hole scoring record. She chipped in from 90 feet for birdie on No. 8 and made a 30-footer on 10 on the Marquess Course, the hilly, forest layout that is a big change from the usual seaside links.Lee shot a 69. The South Korean player led after each of the first two rounds, opening with a 62 and shooting a 71 on Friday.Everything was OK. Just OK, not perfect, Lee said.Mo Martin was third at 11 under after a 69. The American won the 2014 tournament at Royal Birkdale.Scotlands Catriona Matthew, at 46 trying to become the oldest major champion, had a 71 to move into fourth at 10 under.dddddddddddd She played alongside Jutanugarn.If she keeps playing like she keeps playing, shes going to be tough to catch, Matthew said. But go out tomorrow and try to make as many birdies as I can.The top-ranked Ko was tied for 27th at 3 under after a 69. She closed with a double bogey after birdieing five of the previous seven holes.I just had a toffee. Sugar always helps the feelings, Ko joked. But I know that I still played solid out there. Its not the greatest finish to finish with a bogey or a double. ... Ive just got to get over it.Stacy Lewis was 9 under after a 70. She won at St. Andrews in 2013.A little bit of a mess today, the American said. Just a few too many mistakes.Charley Hull, the English star playing on her home course, was tied for 40th at 2 under after a 75.I felt like I played pretty decent, just didnt hole any putts, Hull said.Jutanugarn broke the 54-hole record of 201 set by Caroline Masson in 2011 at Carnoustie. The 72-hole mark is 269 by Karen Stupples in 2004 at Sunningdale.To relax, the Thai player smiles as part of her pre-shot routine.I really want to try to be like relaxed before the shot, said Jutanugarn, in position to jump from sixth to third in the world ranking with a victory. I feel like whatever is going to make me happy and easy one is like smile.She hoped to be smiling late Sunday.I think its no pressure for me because only thing I want to is have fun, Jutanugarn said. So one more day, I want to have fun. ' ' '
