Racing ban 'disastrous' for Fallon, court told

The financial consequences for former champion jockey Kieren Fallon and his dependants will be disastrous if his current racing ban is upheld, the High Court heard today.

Earlier this month, Fallon, 41, was suspended from riding in Britain by the Horseracing Regulatory Authority (HRA) until the conclusion of his trial on criminal charges of conspiracy to defraud or until further order.
