Injured Fallon may miss ride on Guineas favourite

THERE is a big doubt about Kieren Fallon partnering hot-favourite George Washington in tomorrow's English 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, following a nasty incident at Tipperary last night.

Injured Fallon may miss ride on  Guineas favourite

Fallon was aboard the John Murphy trained Convincing in the Enjoy The Action at Tipperary As A Member Handicap. Unfortunately, he banged his right foot off the stalls as the field left the gate and was in so much pain, he was a virtual passenger on the horse for all of the seven furlongs plus. Fallon returned to the weigh-room with blood streaming from his foot and a couple of his toes were badly bruised.

He was soon removed to the Limerick Regional Hospital for X-rays and it remains to be seen what they reveal.
