Fallon fired up for ‘hard’ title battle

CHAMPION jockey Kieren Fallon yesterday admitted it was going to be “hard” for him to retain his crown.

Fallon is currently in second place in the championship table, two behind Frankie Dettori, as he chases his seventh title. Seb Sanders is hot on their heels and Daryll Holland is not far behind.

After winning on Raysoot in the Miss Hucklebridge Handicap at Bath yesterday to take his tally to 109, Fallon said: “For five or six years I was well clear and it was boring - there was no excitement there.
