Fallon hails 'superstar' Washington

Kieren Fallon has “high hopes” for Stan James 2000 Guineas favourite George Washington after a fruitful private gallop in Ireland.

Fallon partnered the Aidan O’Brien-trained three-year-old, as low as 2-1 with Ladbrokes for the first Classic of the season on May 6, in a work-out at Leopardstown and was delighted with the outcome.
