No claim of Fallon receiving money

THERE was no evidence that Kieren Fallon ever received money or benefit from businessman Miles Rodgers or anyone else connected with a betting conspiracy that has seen the Irish jockey charged with throwing races.

But it was the prosecution case that he held himself accountable for losses that cost the conspirators about half a million pounds, Jonathan Caplan QC, prosecuting, said.

“He would have to earn that money back for the conspirators by stopping horses before he would receive any benefit himself. The inference to be drawn is that he was clearly involved for reward,” said Mr Caplan.
