Fallon free to ride

Champion jockey Kieren Fallon is set to ride in six races at Salisbury today after being released on bail last night.

Fallon, who was questioned for 12 hours at Bury St Edmunds police station over allegations of involvement in a massive race fixing scam, is free to ride because the jockey Club have not suspended him.

Fallon, who denies any wrongdoing, is booked to ride first on Golden Fury in the 1.50pm race.

The two other jockeys arrested in connection with the fraud probe, Fergal Lynch and Darren Williams, are also due to ride at Redcar and Carlisle.

Detectives are investigating a series of alleged frauds covering more than 80 races around the country during the past two years and held a total of 16 people in dawn raids yesterday morning.

Fallon has not been charged but will have to attend a police station in London in two months.
