Fallon 4th as O'Brien wins mile & a half maiden

Sun 8th May 2011, 15:39

Kieren Fallon returned to the fold for Ballydoyle on Nantucket Bay and though that one is not without hope for the future it was his stable companion Admiral Of The Red that stole the show today in the Follow Leopardstown on Facebook Maiden under Joseph O'Brien.

The victorious Galileo colt made all and he was ridden clear from the furlong pole to beat Olympiad comfortably. Long Journey Home finished third and Nantucket Bay was fourth.

Fallon of course was having his first ride for O'Brien in over a year – since Viscount Nelson finished 11th in the 2,000 Guineas in Newmarket at the start of May 2010.
