Jockeys in the dock and what happened to them

The 11-time champion jockey, who guided home nine Derby winners, was convicted of tax fraud in 1987 and sentenced to three years in prison, although he served just over a year. He was also stripped of his OBE, which had been awarded in 1975. 

Was jailed for ten months in May 2018 after pleading guilty to dangerous driving while over the legal alcohol limit and escaping from police custody. Deutsch was also disqualified from driving for 17 months. Twenty-one at the time, he drove away from police at up to 114mph after a roadside breath test. His Audi vehicle was eventually stopped with a stinger. He has since re-established himself as being among the best Jump jockeys in the weighing room. 

Was jailed for six months in July 2002 for indecently assaulting a female flight attendant and urinating against a door while drunk on board a long-haul flight from Tokyo to Heathrow. His sentence was later reduced to three months. He was arrested at Heathrow but told officers that he could not remember what had happened. The court was told that Murphy had two previous drink-driving convictions. 

Sent to prison for 16 weeks in September 2019 following his fourth conviction for drink driving. The 37-year-old was also disqualified from driving for five years. His battle with alcohol first came to public notice in 2007, when he was the first jockey in Britain to be found over the drink-drive limit when taking a breath test at the races. 

Was sentenced to serve two months in prison by a court in Dublin after he was found guilty of setting light to a newspaper aboard a flight to Ireland  from Spain in October 2005. The sentence was later quashed with Carberry agreeing to do voluntary work. He had pleaded not guilty to the charge of engaging in threatening, abusive or insulting behaviour likely to lead to a breach of the peace. 

Fallon and fellow jockeys Fergal Lynch and Darren Williams were among five people charged with conspiracy to defraud Betfair customers in 2006 following a massive inquiry by City of London Police. However, the race-fixing case collapsed in December 2007, after the trial judge Justice Forbes directed the jury to acquit because there was no case for them to answer. On leaving court, Fallon, said: "I am of course relieved and delighted, but also outraged. There was never any evidence against me." 

Admitted harassment, possession of a shotgun without a certificate and being in charge of a car while over the alcohol limit in November 2006. He was spared jail after claiming he had borrowed the gun from a friend to go on a game shoot earlier in the day but had changed his mind and not used it.
