Fallon under fire after Lingfield drama

Champion jockey Kieren Fallon was referred to Jockey Club headquarters at Portman Square by the Lingfield stewards today after getting beaten a short head on Ballinger Ridge in controversial circumstances.

The Andrew Balding-trained 15-8 chance looked to have the betdirect.co.uk Median Auction Maiden Stakes at his mercy when Fallon kicked 10 lengths clear at halfway.
