Fallon could appeal against the riding suspension Former champion jockey Kieren Fallon has been handed a 10-day riding ban that will rule him out of the Guineas meeting at Newmarket.
He was suspended after Kempton stewards on Wednesday night found him guilty of not riding out to the winning line.Fallon, riding Sukhothai, was caught for second place in the final stride by the fast-finishing Watered Silk.
His ban runs from 27 April to 6 May, which covers the 2,000 Guineas on 30 April and the next day's 1,000 Guineas.
The six-time champion jockey, who has won both versions of the Guineas four times, could appeal against the suspension.
A report from the stewards said Fallon was asked to explain "why he appeared to drop his hands shortly before the winning post and was subsequently beaten into third place."
Having heard his evidence and reviewed a video recording of the race, stewards found the 46-year-old to be in breach of a rule, in that he failed to ride out on a horse that would have finished second.
Fallon spent three years on the sidelines before returning to action in September 2009 after a trial into alleged race-fixing, in which he was cleared, and an 18-month drugs ban.
