Cieren Fallon: 'They say Dad was one of the best ever but I want to be better'

It is hard to think of a more appropriate place to meet Cieren Fallon than in the shadows of the winning post that defined the career of his father.

On a sun-kissed evening at Epsom, the young rider breezes out of the weighing room just as his dad did hundreds of times before him.

The steep climb and unforgiving descent of Tattenham Corner in the distance is enough to strike fear into the hardiest of jockeys, yet just like Lester Piggott before him, Fallon snr was unrivalled at Epsom – his three Derby wins the stuff of folklore at maybe the most famous and challenging track in the world.
