The riding ban on Fallon only applies in the UK

A judge refused to grant Mr Fallon an injunction lifting the ban and remitting the case back to the Horseracing Regulatory Authority (HRA).

The ban was imposed by the Jockey Club pending his criminal trial on race-fixing charges, which he denies.

Mr Fallon, 41, did not seek leave to appeal against the decision of Mr Justice Davis.

The jockey's lawyers had argued that the HRA panel and an appeal board which upheld its ruling had acted unfairly and disproportionately in depriving him of the ability to earn a living in the UK when no charges had yet been proved against him and he was entitled to the presumption of innocence.

Special panel

Earlier this month the Crown Prosecution Service charged Mr Fallon and others with conspiracy to defraud by dishonestly agreeing not to permit certain horses to run on their merits.

The judge said Mr Fallon, who vehemently denied the charges, would not face trial until the end of next year, although a submission of "no case to answer" was likely at the end of this year.

The jockey complained that a special panel of the HRA - part of the Jockey Club - had failed to consider the criminal evidence against him correctly.

He also said they should have read transcripts of police interviews.

He would have been expected to ride favourite Hurricane Run on Saturday in one of the summer's biggest races, the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes at Ascot.
