JC reveal more details surrounding Fallon race
by Graham Green and Bruce Jackson
JOCKEY CLUB concern over the race in which Kieren Fallon forfeited victory after dropping his hands on Ballinger Ridge at Lingfield on Tuesday was triggered by the activities of a number of betting exchange players previously linked to suspect races.
Officials refuse to either name the individuals or reveal how many were involved, but it was their direct participation in the markets that prompted Betfair to alert Portman Square ten minutes before the off.
Fallon, whose mount was caught on the lineby odds-on favourite Rye, was subsequently found guilty of failing to ride out for first place - an offence that carries a maximum 21-day ban - but because of the suspicious betting patterns, the racecourse stewards referred the case to London.
JockeyClub spokesman John Maxse said: “Our monitoring of the exchanges does not simply revolve around what bets are matched on-screen. As we have previously publicly stated, there are some ongoing inquiries being conducted by the security department into raceswhich were the subject of suspicious betting patterns. As a result of the Memorandum of Understanding, in the process of investigating those races certain accounts have come under scrutiny.â€
