One of the jockeys accused of throwing races in a multi-million pound betting scam declared he had given his horse a “good ride” in one of the suspected races, the Old Bailey in London heard today.

KIEREN FALLON sent a “revealing” series of text messages the day after winning a race that he was supposed to have lost as part of a race-fixing plot, a court heard yesterday.

Kieren Fallon’s solicitor is to call on specialist legal advice in the wake of the champion jockey’s arrest and subsequent release on bail on Wednesday as part of a police investigation into alleged race-fixing.
