Summary:

Kieren Fallon is the most successful Flat jockey of the modern era.
Yet controversy is never far away. He was 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 racehorse until he
was almost 18 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 15
Classics, including the Derby three times.
