If any of the accounts they have that have made money by laying Fallon's mounts have ANY link whatsoever to him, that will be it.
Agreed, the coolmore legal team will make it difficult but i doubt the HRA would have gone this far without having significant evidence. You know how tight the BHB are
I have my fingers crossed that he is innocent, because not only will we have lost a great jockey, but also i will feel very annoyed because i really liked the guy. He rode a horse of my dad's first time out as a 2yo at Newmarket, he was a flying machine. Fallon said when he got on him "i doubt he will win today" which was very strange. He was beaten a short head when he had the race in the bag. I hope it wasn't a case of race fixing, but that will always be in the back of my mind.
