Fallon out of frame as River storms home at Chantilly

KIEREN FALLON’S week failed to receive a much-needed tonic as Stormy River came from last to first to land the Prix Jean Prat in sensational style at Chantilly yesterday.

Fallon was riding the Aidan O’Brien-trained Ivan Denisovich in the Group One contest over a mile and hopes were high that he could turn the tables on the Nicolas Clement-trained Stormy River.

The pair had met in the St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot when they filled the places behind the impressive Araafa, but the French horse had looked unlucky after being set plenty to do by Olivier Peslier.
