Ladbrokes suspend Championship betting

Bookmakers Ladbrokes have suspended betting on the Flat Jockeys' Championship in the wake of the controversy surrounding champion jockey Kieren Fallon.

Fallon had been the 1-3 favourite to land a seventh title in eight years, but faces a 21-day ban at a hearing of the Jockey Club for failing to ride out for first place at Lingfield last Tuesday.
