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.

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

Ooooo, i only saw 2, must go back and look!!!! Yeah, was real good when i looked at the card....... so does this mean he is flying straight back from the court hearing and then going straight back to court the next morning, do you think?? It shows he is determined, anyway

he was down to ride 2 in one race for a while, thats how I mistakenly thought 3.. Hes not that good yet, so only 2 tomorrow..

I think Fallon would be more than capable
