Irish jockey Kieren Fallon is back in the saddle today in Turkey after he failed in a court bid to have his British racing ban overturned.

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

His attempt to have the ban overturned by the London High Court was rejected on Friday.

The County Clare man is to ride in the Prime Ministry Cup in Istanbul later this afternoon.
