Fallon still to decide on 1000 Guineas ride
Kieren Fallon has yet to commit himself to riding ante-post favourite Damson in the UltimatePoker.com 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on Sunday.
The former champion jockey, who is in his first season as number one to Aidan O’Brien, will partner the David Wachman-trained filly in a workout at Newmarket on Wednesday and he will be keeping a close eye on the weather before making his decision.
“Whether I ride her will depend on the ground – she needs top of the ground,” Fallon said today.
“Aidan’s horse for the 1000 Guineas has been working nicely, but Damson did well last year.”
O’Brien still has Virginia Waters in the Rowley Mile Classic, in which 23 fillies remain following today’s confirmation stage.
