Fallon out of luck in Irish opener

Kieren Fallon’s new career failed to start with a victory after his first mount at the Curragh this afternoon, One Fell Swoop, finished ninth on the opening day of the Irish Flat season.

Fallon was riding the juvenile for David Wachman in the opening Tally Ho Stud European Breeders Fund but, despite a good start, he was pushing the colt along by halfway.
