The Fallon Factor

Unquestionably flawed, but superbly talented, this is a frank in depth interview conducted by Matt Chapman with the enigma that is Kieren Fallon. Fallon victorious in no less than 16 English Classics including 3 Derbies plus a further 9 Irish Classics and 2 Ascot Gold Cups. He was associated with some of the greats most notably Dylan Thomas, George Washington & Yeats. This interview took place during Fallon's first ban for taking cocaine, he had come through his long and ardous Old Bailey Trial which had been dismissed on insufficient evidence, I have to say the body language is not comfortable as Chapman quizzes him on his infamous ride on Ballinger Ridge at Lingfield. Nevertheless the charm and obvious talent shines through.

When was this filmed

There can be no doubt that Kieran was a great jockey, but trouble followed him around, for years, he has been in and out of trouble, I never knew one way or the other, about fault but when his boss, Henry Cecil, was in trouble himself personally, with his then 2cnd wife, who was linked with Kieran, it filled all the daily gutter press and had a terrible effect on poor Henry, and eventually, Henry was nearly a broken man and trainer. I don't know the ins and outs, but I think Fallon has caused so much trouble for people,
But Henry, who suffered so badly over this rotten affair, for a very long time, it very nearly broke him and nearly made him Bankrupt and the only thing that Henry was guilty of was loving his wife and making Kieran a very close friend. After that, I really started to think, that
there is no smoke, without fire. And was it that everyone else involved over the years, liars,
or was it just one man who was the liar! Colin, the UK.
