The biography of the most controversial jockey the sport has ever seen
Kieren Fallon is the most successful Flat jockey of the modern era. Yet controversy is never far away, whether it is attempting to pull a rival jockey from his horse in mid-race or checking into a rehab clinic because of drink problems. Yet even this was nothing compared to being charged with conspiracy to defraud in July 2006, a charge he strenuously denied. In December 2007, he was cleared, but a day later it was revealed that he had again failed a drugs test while riding in France. But there is a different side to Fallon, a man who never got on a race horse until he was almost eighteen and yet quickly developed a natural rapport with his horses that makes them respond to him like no other jockey. Six times Champion Jockey, a seventh title was taken from his grasp when he had an horrific, career-threatening fall in June 2000. He has won fifteen Classics, including the Derby three times, and is currently based in Ireland at Ballydoyle with Aidan O'Brien.
