'He produced what in hindsight looks a miracle at HQ'

Top Cees
Chester Cup, May 10, 1995
A runaway victory that created more headlines and uproar than just about any other winner in Fallon's astonishing career, spawning the famous and successful High Court libel action from winning connections.

Oath
Derby, June 5, 1999
A day after winning the Oaks on Ramruna, Fallon took the law into his own hands when Oath threatened to boil over in the preliminaries and got him out of the parade and to post early before completing the Classic double for then-boss Sir Henry Cecil.


2,000 Guineas, May 6, 2000
After the loss of the Cecil job Fallon showed that his talents were unaffected as he teamed up with Sir Michael Stoute to coolly thread his way to another Classic success, King’s Best beating Giant’s Causeway by three and a half lengths.

Hong Kong Vase, Dec 11, 2005
Having won the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare at Lone Star Park, Fallon was reunited with Ouija Board a year later in Hong Kong, where under another of his trademark fearless hold-up rides the star filly posted another top-flight success.

Dylan Thomas
Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, Oct 7, 2007
Having failed a drug test and facing what turned out to be an 18-month worldwide ban, Fallon put his off-track problems out of his mind to force Dylan Thomas home by a head – it was the day before the Old Bailey trial began.


2,000 Guineas, May 3, 2014
This was a fifth win in this Classic – and ultimately the last of Fallon’s career – gained as a 40-1 shot, the rider producing what in hindsight looks a miracle in defeating big guns Kingman and Australia.
