Arlington Million Day - international runners

[my miss storm cat]

Well, I knew it was coming but still.....

Where's the little smiley face... the suicidal one?


APPEAL BY LAST YEAR’S MILLION WINNING JOCKEY FALLON DENIED
European jockey Kieren Fallon, who won last summer’s Grade I Arlington Million on Mrs. John Magnier’s Powerscourt as the regular rider for Irish trainer Aidan O’Brien, has lost a High Court challenge to a riding ban by Great Britain’s Horseracing Regulatory Authority.

The failure of Fallon’s High Court challenge means that the six-time British riding champion will almost certainly be unavailable for the mount on Mrs. Magnier’s Ace for O’Brien in the upcoming Arlington Million Aug. 12.

O’Brien is also expected to send Mrs. Magnier’s Queen Cleopatra for Arlington’s Grade I Beverly D. and Mrs. Magnier, Michael Tabor and Irving and Marjorie Cowan’s Ivan Denisovich in the Grade I Secretariat during Arlington’s one-day International Festival of Racing Aug. 12. A decision concerning an alternate rider for all three O’Brien trainees is expected shortly.
