Fallon guest of honour at Galway fundraiser

GALWAY’S meeting at Ballybrit on Monday week, September 8, promises to be a red letter day in more ways than one.

Apart from the excellent racing, the Brothers of Charity, Orchard Centre, Gort are promoting a hospitality pavilion in aid of their fire disaster rebuilding fund and their guest of honour will be none other than Kieren Fallon, the English champion jockey who is a past pupil of Our Lady’s College, Gort, and who also hopes to have some rides on the day.

Kieren is no stranger to Ballybrit as he rode Alkayima to victory there when he was with Kevin Prendergast.
