Do you believe Fallon would mess about in Group 1 races?

Question

What was the prize money for that race?...Yeah funny things can happen in Winter at Lingfield but find it so hard to believe he would mess about in Group 1 race..

Answer 1

According to papers today, when he thought they were on to him he stopped his criminal activities in the bigger races, and had the syndicate bosses setting off for his house at 1am with undercover cops trailing them,and then finding that the syndicate turns up behind the cops. (should I put the word "keystone" in front?)

Answer 2

I suppose if the money was right he would have messed with any race even a group 1.

Answer 3

Cheveley Park Stud earnt £116,000 for Russian Rhythm's win in the Lockinge, so Fallon would have earned in the region of £11,600 for his part.

I would like to think that he (or any jockey for that matter) would do such a thing in a Group 1 race, as has been alleged, but the evidence doesn't look too good at the moment.

Can I just remind everyone to be a bit careful about what they are saying.  I've seen several chat topics on other discussion sites shut down because of the legalities of discussing a court case.  None of us want to end up charged with contempt of court!

Answer 4

I worked with Kieran and his brother Dermot at his first yard in England - Jimmy Fitzgerald's and I didn't have much time for him then and I don't now. He was always arrogant and it may have been that in part that has lead him down this path.

Answer 5

to much money to mess about in big races

Answer 6

well,my dad always said you might as well get hung for a sheep as well as a lamb- the bigger the event the easier to play funny buggers.we will see as this time i am sure the trial will be a thorough one.

Answer 7

yes i do,most of them fiddle,you can see them holding them back,if you notice the favourite just gets beat,and comes second,if you notice they never change a stewards inquiry now,its always brushed under the table,thats because of william hills and co paying first passed the post,it stinks,i have been betting for years and you can see the horse being held back.if they put monkeys on the flat horses,the fav would win all the time,its not the horse that lets you down,
