Champagne Charlie impressing Fallon
The six-times champion jockey was riding Tommy Stack’s charge for the first time following the purchase of the juvenile by the Coolmore operation.
And stepped up to Group One company, the Danetime colt impressively beat Natagora by two lengths to maintain his unbeaten record.
“He was different class completely,” said Fallon yesterday. “And the filly that led me (Natagora), I was very impressed with her in a Listed race early in the season and she had done nothing but improve, they thought highly of her.
“I was happy to be in behind her, which proves how good he is. He has a lot of speed and he is by Danetime, who was very fast.
“I don’t know what the plan is yet, the National Stakes has been mentioned, as have the Middle Park and the Dewhurst, so we’ll have to see what the (Coolmore) boys do.”
Fallon also revealed his admiration for super filly Peeping Fawn. “She has gone from strength to strength this year and is as good over a mile and a half as 10 furlongs and she may even come back to a mile, I’m not sure what Aidan’s plans are. The Arc looks an obvious target, but I’m not sure what the boys will do.” Fallon told At The Races.
