Im with the owners here


A High Court judge is deciding whether Kieren Fallon can ride in Saturday's Investec Derby at Epsom.

Mr Justice MacDuff, sitting in London, has been urged to grant an injunction by the owners of 2000 Guineas third Native Khan, which would prevent Fallon taking part in the premier Classic.

They claim that three-time Derby winner Fallon has broken a "promise" to ride their horse and should be prevented from riding another in the race.

Fallon, who attended the court, denied breach of contract and said there has been an "innocent misunderstanding".

Lawyers for owner Ibrahim Araci argued that he had been "badly let down" by Fallon, who is set to partner Aidan O'Brien's Recital, whom he rode to win the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial at Leopardstown.

Fallon guided the Ed Dunlop-trained Native Khan to victory in the Craven Stakes at Newmarket on his first start of the year.

Olivier Peslier rode the grey when he finished third in the Guineas behind Frankel as Fallon was suspended.

The judge will give his ruling on Friday morning.

UNCERTAINTY still surrounds Kieren Fallon's availability to partner Recital in tomorrow's Investec Derby despite a High Court judge today finding in his favour following the legal challenge launched by the owners of Native Khan.
Although unsuccessful in his bid to prevent Fallon from riding Recital, Ibrahim Araci has been granted leave to challenge the verdict of Mr Justice MacDuff in the Court of Appeal this afternoon.
In a sensational twist to the Derby, Araci launched a legal bid against Fallon, who he claimed had breached a prior contract to ride his Ed Dunlop-trained colt at Epsom.
MacDuff concluded that to stop the former Ballydoyle stable jockey chasing Classic glory on the Aidan O'Brien-trained Recital would have been "oppressive", while it was also established that the dispute could be settled through damages.
However, Araci was successful when seeking leave to appeal, which means Fallon's participation in the Derby will be unclear until at least this afternoon..
