Fallon scotches suggestions he wasn’t happy with decision to allow Horatio Nelson run in Derby

KIEREN FALLON has scotched suggestions he was not happy with the decision to allow the ill-fated Horatio Nelson take his chance in the Vodafone Derby at Epsom on Saturday.

The demise of the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt, who was pulled up and dismounted by Fallon in the home straight having suffered a serious leg injury, overshadowed one of the race's most exciting renewals.

O'Brien was at the stalls to supervise his four runners and could be seen in consultation with Fallon.
