Double reverse for O’Brien and Fallon

AIDAN O’BRIEN and Kieren Fallon suffered a double reverse yesterday when Grand Central and Almighty were both well beaten at Leopardstown.

The highly-rated Grand Central was held by Alayan in a tactical race for the Leopardstown 2,000 Guineas Trial, while Almighty was only fourth to Bobs Pride in the P.W. McGrath Memorial Ballysax Stakes.
