Returning jockey sparks frenzy at Lingfield

THERE is a bemused expression on Neil Callan’s face as he walks through the gates at Lingfield to be faced by a horde of photographers, journalists and even a couple of camera crews.

“Didn’t you know lads, he’s off sick,” quips the jockey. As good a season as Callan is having, they are not waiting here for him.

Rumour has it Kieren Fallon had slipped into the course earlier on in the morning and, as he has managed to do a few times before, he keeps the media guessing.
