Timeline
Kieren Francis Fallon (born 22 February 1965 in Crusheen, County Clare, Ireland) is a retired Irish professional flat racing jockey and was British Champion Jockey six times.
Fallon has three children with his ex-wife Julie: Natalie Ann Fallon (b. 1994), and twins Brittany Michelle and Cieren Richard Fallon (b. 1999).
He also had a child with another woman while married to Julie.
In 1997, Fallon became the stable jockey for Henry Cecil, one of Britain's leading trainers.
In May 1997 he recorded his first Classic win when taking the 1000 Guineas on the Cecil-trained filly Sleepytime.
Cecil called him "a very hard worker" and a "Group One Jockey" while Richard Edmondson, writing in The Independent, praised Fallon's riding ability while pointing out his poor disciplinary record.
Both sides of Fallon's character were soon evident as he was given a ten-day ban for his riding in a race in Italy, which he successfully had postponed to ride in The Oaks, which he won on Reams of Verse for Cecil.
Fallon ended the season with 202 wins and his first Champion Jockey title.
Fallon retained the Jockeys' Championship for the next two seasons, riding more than 200 winners on each occasion.
In 1999 he won his first Derby when he rode the Cecil-trained Oath to victory at Epsom and followed up by winning the Oaks on Ramruma for the same stable.
Less than two months later Fallon was dismissed as Cecil's stable jockey for reasons which were never fully explained.
Following his dismissal, Fallon rode as a freelance jockey, riding for many top owners and trainers, before becoming stable jockey to the powerful stable of Michael Stoute.
During his time with Stoute, Fallon rode the winners of many important races including successive runnings of the 2000 Guineas with King's Best and Golan.
Between these two victories, Fallon lost his Champion Jockey title after a serious arm injury sustained in a fall in June 2000 at Royal Ascot forced him to miss several months race-riding.
The accident came shortly after a riding ban prevented him from riding in the Derby.
His new career began impressively, with a win on Footstepsinthesand in the 2000 Guineas.
By the end of the season he had recorded further important wins on horses such as Yeats, George Washington and Oratorio.
Fallon's post at the Stoute stable came to an end in November 2001, when Stoute announced that some of his main owners did not want to use Fallon as a jockey for their horses, making his position untenable.
Despite having no formal connection with the stable, Fallon continued to ride major winners for Stoute including the Derby winners Kris Kin in 2003 and North Light in 2004.
In the spring of 2004 the News of the World newspaper made allegations of race fixing against Fallon.
He was due to appear before the Jockey Club later in the year to answer the allegations when on 1 September 2004, he was arrested as part of a police investigation into the alleged fixing of over 80 races in the previous two years.
On 15 December 2004 the Jockey Club discontinued its investigation into the allegations.
In February 2005 Fallon accepted the post of first jockey to Aidan O'Brien's powerful Ballydoyle stable.
On 3 July 2006, Fallon was charged along with seven other people for conspiring to defraud the Internet betting exchange Betfair.
Fallon was banned from riding in the UK until his trial was over, but was still able to race in the Republic of Ireland.
Fallon's 2006 ban from riding in England curtailed his opportunities, but more important wins followed for the Ballydoyle team, notably on the 2007 European Horse of the Year Dylan Thomas.
On 29 November 2006 French racing authority France Galop suspended Fallon for six months after testing positive for a metabolite of a prohibited substance after riding at Chantilly on 9 July 2006.
The ban ran from 7 December 2006 to 6 June 2007.
On 8 October 2007, his trial on charges of race-fixing began at the Old Bailey court in London.
On 7 December 2007, the judge decided the defendants had no case to answer and he directed the jury to find Fallon and all his co-defendants not guilty because of lack of evidence.
His suspension from British racing was lifted with immediate effect.
On 8 December 2007, it came out that Fallon had tested positive again for a banned substance on 19 August 2007 at Deauville Racecourse in France.
Fallon's position with O'Brien ended with his 18-month worldwide ban imposed by the French racing authorities in January 2008.
On 25 January 2008 Fallon received an 18-month riding suspension for this offence.
He resumed race riding at Lingfield Park on 4 September 2009.
Although major wins were less frequent, Fallon had success, riding 140 winners in 2010 and 154 in 2011.
In the latter season he finished third in the Jockeys' championship behind Paul Hanagan.
In 2014, Fallon rode to victory in the 2000 Guineas.
Allowing Night of Thunder to drift across the track to the left having been on the right of the track, Fallon got up in the final strides to win the race and to take his first classic in 8 years.
