fallon at santa anitaKieran Fallon will be riding at santa anita over the weekend
4th race lemon chiffon
6th race allicansayiswow
7th race gitano hernando
the main reason for going is Gitano Hernando who must have impressed him alot last at wolves and if goes well here could go for the breeders cup classic

Thanks Tony - I knew about Gitano Hernando but not the others. Do you know if they're Team Valour too?
I hope I remember these races on Saturday night - Shame for me that Fallon's picked Santa Anita over York but I can hardly blame him.

the other rides are not for team valour both races are on turf with gitano hernando running in grade 1 goodwood stakes on dirt

He was saying in todays two page spread in the RP that he'll be riding in the US over the winter.

the piece in the RP today is interesting and confirms my thoughts that Fallon's horses are often overbet and that backing him blindly is the fast way to the poor house.

im putting a small win-place-show on gitano hernando today morning line price 15-1 for fallon to the US ride this it must have give him a good feel, there is no america superstar in this and i think its very posible the botti colt will run well also backed it at 20-1 e/w paddy power

Thanks for the link Owl
I checked my account first - and assumed he'd come nowhere as my balence hadn't changed. Just checked again and VC are paying up now
Great advertisement for anyone who needs a jockey for the Breeders Cup - just a little reminder

Yet more evidence of just how far superior UK/Irish horses are to US horses on the turf/pro ride. Stotsfold, GH etc. are Group 2/3 horses here and can challenge/win Grade 1s there. If we send over a strong team we could probably win most of the races at the BC this year

the horse set the track record over in europe-have to guessnot many quality horses show up there
but there is a chance that he is better than most on poly over there
poly is ruining the game over here
especially the turf game
has unique/artificial properties that can make pace irrelevant

Yes it was at a poor track. And it must have been riding pretty quick as he didn't earn a particularly big speed figure

i would be very surprised if the europeans dont win the classic this year the americans look a poor bunch to me, santa anita seems to suit the euro horses very well
