Fallon claws one back on Dettori

Kieren Fallon cut Frankie Dettori’s lead in the jockeys’ title race to seven with a winner at Lingfield today.

Dettori, who is ahead of the current champion by 171 to 164, drew a blank at the Surrey track from his six rides.

The Italian is still 1-3 for the title with Coral, while Fallon is available at 9-4.

Fallon struck on evens favourite Admiral Compton for Ed Vaughan in division one of the Higg’s International Maiden Stakes.

Seb Sanders, meanwhile, kept his slim hopes alive when taking his tally to 156 with victory on the Sir Mark Prescott-trained Fantaisiste, the 2-1 favourite, in the Sun Nursery.

All three riders are in action at Wolverhampton tomorrow.
