Kieren Fallon has a remarkable history of wins, and has won the title of British Champion Jockey a total of six times. However, 2007 court cases and controversy over his alleged participation in the fixing of races (between 2002 and 2004) has put an end to his string of wins, at least in Britain.

Kieren Fallon has jockeyed a total of four 2000 Guineas winners. In 2000, he rode King’s Best – trained by Sir Michael Stoute – to victory. In 2001, also working with Stoute as a trainer, he won on Golan. With trainer Aiden O’Brien, Fallon won the 2000 Guineas on Footstepsinthesand in 2005, and on George Washington in 2006.

Kieren Fallon’s other British Classic racing wins include:

  • the 1000 Guineas, a total of four times – on Sleepytime in 1997, Wince in 1999, Russian Rhythm in 2003 and Virginia Waters in 2005
  • the Epsom Derby, three times – on Oath in 1999, Kris Kin in 2003 and North Light in 2004
  • Epsom Oaks, four times – on Reams of Verse in 1997, Ramruma in 1999, Ouija Board in 2004 and Alexandrova in 2006

Kieren Fallon rode horses to victory twice in the Ascot Gold Cup, with Mr Dinos in 2003 and with Yeats in 2006. Fallon didn’t achieve a win in the British St Leger, but did win the Irish St Leger with Yeats in 2007.
