Fallon escapes serious injury in fall

CHAMPION jockey Kieren Fallon was discharged from hospital last night as fears that he may have suffered a serious injury in a Leicester race fall proved groundless.

He had been carried into an ambulance by stretcher and taken to Leicester Royal Infirmary after being hurled to the ground when his mount stumbled in the penultimate race at the East Midlands track.

But his agent Dave Pollington said: “There is nothing broken, though he did have quite a bang on the head.”
