Fallon strikes on guitar

Kieren Fallon landed his first winner since being banned from riding in Britain as Flamingo Guitar hit the target at Naas.

The Horseracing Regulatory Authority barred Fallon from riding in this country after he was charged as part of a City of London Police investigation into alleged race-fixing.

However, Fallon is licensed in Ireland and he is still able to ride here pending his trial, which is expected to take place next year.

He advertised his skills in fine fashion aboard the David Wachman-trained 4-6 favourite, taking up a prominent position aboard before kicking on around two furlongs out.

Flamingo Guitar, who is entered in the Baileys Irish Champion Stakes, kept on well to prevail by a length and three-quarters from Gist with Lily Elsie back in third.
