Six-time British champion Kieren Fallon will ride this winter at Gulfstream

Park, the Daily Racing Form reports. The 39-year-old jockey is scheduled to fly

in after Christmas and will ride at Calder on New Year's Day. He will be

represented by Ron Anderson, who also handles Jerry Bailey's book.

Fallon, who garnered six riding titles in Great Britain from 1997-2003, was

allegedly involved in race fixing this year, but Britain's Jockey Club has

recently dropped their inquiry into that matter.

"I've always maintained my innocence, but the pressure on me during the past

few months has been colossal," Fallon said in a published report.

The regular rider for trainer Sir Michael Stoute, Fallon piloted the winners

of both the Vodafone Oaks (Eng-G1) and Vodafone Derby (Eng-G1) this year, aboard

Ouija Board (GB) (Cape Cross [Ire]) and North Light (Danehill), respectively.
