FALLON’S RETURN – 4/1 HE’S CHAMPION JOCK
Kieren Fallon makes his eagerly awaited return to race riding next Friday and Paddy Power are betting that he hits the ground running.
The multiple champion jockey is rated just 7-1 to win the upcoming St. Leger and 4-1 to win the jockey’s championship next year.
In terms of Fallon’s next boss, the bookie thinks it an unlikely 25-1 that he returns to Ballydoyle and an even less likely 33-1 that he replaces Christophe Soumillon as the Aga Khan’s retained jockey.
In recent times Fallon has been no stranger to controversy and Paddy Power also offer odds on what his next ban will be for. The bookie is almost certain that it will be for careless riding rating the offence odds on at 4/7.
Punters who fondly remember Fallon’s strength in a finish may be tempted by the 6/4 offered on a ban due to excessive use of the whip. While less likely outsiders are a repeat of his ban for using a banned substance at 33/1 and a ban for race fixing at 100/1.
Paddy Power said, “Punters the length and breadth of the land will be rubbing their hands at the prospect of the return of the winners machine. Bookies beware, Fallon is back!”
