Six-time British champion Kieren Fallon will ride this winter at Gulfstream
Park, the Daily Racing Form reports. The 39-year-old jockey is scheduled to fly
in after Christmas and will ride at Calder on New Year’s Day. He will be
represented by Ron Anderson, who also handles Jerry Bailey’s book.

Fallon, who garnered six riding titles in Great Britain from 1997-2003, was
allegedly involved in race fixing this year, but Britain’s Jockey Club has
recently dropped their inquiry into that matter.

“I’ve always maintained my innocence, but the pressure on me during the past
few months has been colossal,” Fallon said in a published report.

The regular rider for trainer Sir Michael Stoute, Fallon piloted the winners
of both the Vodafone Oaks (Eng-G1) and Vodafone Derby (Eng-G1) this year, aboard
Ouija Board (GB) (Cape Cross [Ire]) and North Light (Danehill), respectively.
