the way I see it, it'll be difficult to prosecute him. they are very specific charges of attempting to defraud betfair customers I think. I can see Fallon with all of Coolmore's legal support getting the case thrown out at some stage. I cant see how the evidence can be so watertight that they are confident of a prosecution.

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.

Case heard today in the Old Bailey - the press are not allowed to report so it will be interesting all right to try and make sense of the situation.. It is supposed to last for 5 days so he'll most likely make his comeback at the evening meeting at the Curragh on Saturday..

I read somewhere today, that if the case wasn't closed today, that his lawyers had failed to have the case thrown out. Probably wrong though.
I'm no law expert, but i would have thought if someone was trying to get a case thrown out it would have been done quite quickly? Good luck to him though. would be great to see him riding again soon
