Jockey loses appeal against suspension in Britain
Having adjourned Fallon’s case after hearing submissions from the rider’s legal team last night, the appeal board of the Horseracing Regulatory Authority upheld their decision to prohibit him from riding in Britain at Shaftesbury Avenue yesterday morning.
In a statement released through his solicitors, BCL Burton Copeland, Fallon said: “I am deeply disappointed by the refusal of the HRA to overturn my suspension from riding in the UK. I will now take the matter to the High Court, and beyond if necessary, to reinstate my rights to earn a living in the UK and participate in the sport I love.
