THREE men arrested as part of an investigation into allegations of horse race-fixing were last night released on bail, police said.
Trainer Alan Berry, jockey Paul Bradley and farrier Steve O'Sullivan were detained at Mr Berry's stables near Lancaster yesterday morning.
Their detention took to 25 the number of people arrested in the inquiry into allegations of fixing at more than 80 races. They have all been bailed until April.
Among those previously held are champion jockey Kieren Fallon, North Yorkshire-based riders Fergal Lynch and Darren Williams, and trainer Karl Burke, from Middleham, North Yorkshire.
During the investigation, which is being conducted by City of London Police, more than 130 police officers have raided 19 addresses across Suffolk, North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and Hertfordshire.
