The heir to his father’s throne would be a popular winner at Wolverhampton if he can lead Cauthen to success
Cieren Fallon, the apprentice who has the bookmakers running scared, heads to Wolverhampton for three booked rides on Monday evening hoping to end what has been a frustrating sequence.
The 20-year-old son of Kieren Fallon, the six-times champion jockey, Fallon Jr rode a winner at Brighton last Wednesday followed by 20 mounts since then with a number of close seconds, but nothing reaching the winner’s circle. For months his skills and strike rate have deservedly caught punters’ attention. He has made no secret of big ambitions – and at his age when you’re hot you want to stay hot. But patience is another of his race-riding assets and this will stand him in good stead.
