Date set for Fallon High Court bid
Following a directions hearing this morning, the six-times champion jockey’s case will be heard in the Queen’s Bench division of the High Court at the Royal Courts of Justice, although Fallon himself is unlikely to be in attendance.
He is banned from riding in Britain by the Horseracing Regulatory Authority after being charged as part of a police investigation into alleged race-fixing.
The 41-year-old jockey appeared in court on Monday to answer charges at the City of London Magistrates’ Court.
Fellow jockeys Fergal Lynch and Darren Williams were two of 10 other people to appear alongside Fallon.
All the defendants were released on unconditional bail.
The hearing comes on the same day as the final 48-hour declaration stage for the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes at Ascot, in which Fallon would be expected to ride the Coolmore owned Hurricane Run for trainer Andre Fabre.
Fabre has indicated he is willing to wait as long as possible to secure the services of Fallon for his colt.
