Fallon scores in America

Kieren Fallon showed racegoers at Churchill Downs why he is revered on the other side of the Atlantic when producing a vintage ride on River Belle to win the $150,000 (€115,700)-added Mrs Revere Stakes by a nose last night.

The six-times British champion positioned the three-year-old filly to lead and moved off the rail running into the home straight in the Grade Two contest, but had to be at his strongest to hold off the fast-finishing Lenatareese and Cape Town Lass in a blanket finish.
