KIEREN FALLON on Friday confirmed that he will not ride again until the case being heard at the Old Bailey, in which he is defending a charge of conspiracy to defraud Betfair customers, has reached a conclusion.

Fallon explained: “I have decided not to ride again until this is over. There is too much going on - it is not fair on trainers, and I would struggle to concentrate. It just wouldn't work. By the time I finish here each day, and sit with my legal team for an houror more afterwards, the day is over. Then I have to get up early in the morning to be here the following day. I am fit and will keep fit.”
Fallon added: “The season never really got going for me but winning the Arc was nice - Dylan Thomas was the horse for me.”

Fallon's victory at Longchamp was achieved less than 24 hours before the trial opened.

Following agreement between the various parties on the number of witnesses to be called, it is hoped that the trial, originally expected to last four months, may be completed in a shorter time.
