March '94????

Can't believe that was that far back that's crazy.

Where does time go?

Whyno

Brief enough interview but a very honest one...
When he speaks of the ballinger ridge debacle he really was sincere and seemed like he really meant what he was saying.
Hopefully he can regain the title next season from moore and that would be the icing on the cake for him.

The news of the world couldn't even get him to take a bribe. They said they offered him a car and cash but he wouldn't take it.

By all accounts he wasn't breaking the law/rules.

He does seem like the kind of person that could easily be taken advantage of.

I think he was suspended while the investigation was going on but his actual bans came as a result of his cocaine use

Check your facts again mate , Kieran has never been found in anyway guilty of receiving bribes, selling info, or any form of race fixing.

And no your not missing something it is Kieran Fallon we're talking about, the greatest flat jockey I personally have ever seen ride.

Your taking what he said out of context.

He never said that Fallon didn't break ANY rules.

What he said was that 'by all accounts he (Fallon) wasn't breaking THE law / rules' in reference to pulling horses.

The vast majority of jockies know how to win a race and how to lose a race.

They all know this as it is part and parcel of horseracing because of how the handicapping system works.

Do some jockeys cheat? Of course.

Did Fallon? I have no idea.

The above comment you quoted from me was me just trying point out that Nulty did not contadict himself.
