It was the brainchild of Clerk of the Course Charlie Moore and Executive Director David MacDonald who had not time to get a ruling from the BHA but agreed with Clerk of the Scales Stephen Watkins that they could be worn provided they were securely fixed and that owners were happy.
MacDonald said "Our Group Managing Director Tony Kelly phoned and said 'Lets show Fifa how to do it'.
