I cannot imagine Aidan losing his temper with anyone, not even his worst enemy (if he has one). I'm not always sure if he says what he is thinking though. I'm damn sure he didn't want to run Dylan in America OR Hong Kong, but he never said anything against the owners.
There is never an excuse with Aidan, which is why i like him. The way he says things. He manages to hide the truth without telling a lie.
I'm not sure what will happen with Fallon. If I'm honest, I'm beginning to lose all trust in him. Every person deserves a chance, but he's had more than his fair share of those in the past ten years. There will undoubtably be an excuse for the failed drugs test, but I'm just not sure if I can believe a word he says any more.
He said he had no idea who Miles Rodgers was before the court case, and yet it transpired that he knew him and his associates well. He first denied using mobiles phones in restricted areas of racecourses, but then later admited doing so.
After that first drugs ban he vowed to get himself help and to never do anything so stupid again, yet here we are again.
He's a fantastic jockey, a millionaire many times over. Why oh why does he get himself mixed up in all of this. As you said many months ago, Brock, "he is either the most unlucky or most stupid man in this sport"..... I'm beginning to think it is the later.
It's a bit like George Best all over again.
