Fallen rides high in Coronation romp

William Buick’s decision-making is clearly as finely-tuned as his skills in the saddle as he correctly chose to keep his faith in Fallen For You in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot yesterday.

John Gosden was taking something of a gamble when he replaced retained jockey Jimmy Fortune with a 21-year-old former joint-champion apprentice but the pair are safely into their third season together and going from strength to strength.

Sandwiched between two other victories for the Gosden-Buick axis in the Albany Stakes and Wolferton Handicap, Fallen For You led home a Clarehaven Stable one-two by racing three and a quarter lengths clear of Starscope.
