Hong Kong snub for Kieran Fallon

Kieran Fallon will not be able to ride in next month's Hong Kong Vase after he was denied a licence.
Fallon had hoped to partner 2005 St Leger winner Scorpion in the race but the Hong Kong Jockey Club has refused to grant him a licence.

The Irish jockey is banned from riding in Britain after being charged with conspiracy to defraud, which he denies.

He was also not granted a licence to ride in the US but was allowed to ride in Australia.

Closer to home 8 legged freak finished in the places at 8/1 in last night's 9:12 race in Dubai while another one of our tips bobs boy finished second in his race at 4/1.
