Brighton brace for Fallon as Moore fails to return

KIEREN FALLON continued to profit from Ryan Moore’s misfortune as he made an extremely rare but nonetheless successful visit to Brighton yesterday.

Moore had been scheduled to return to the saddle on an utterly wet and miserable afternoon at his hometown track, but the wrist he damaged more than two weeks ago continues to keep him on the sidelines and looks increasingly likely to cost him the chance of retaining his champion jockey title.

Earlier this month Fallon had ridden at Brighton for the first time in five years and he and the Michael Stoute-trained Profondo Rosso – set to have been Moore’s mount – looked equally unfamiliar with the place in the Oddschecker.com Maiden Stakes.
