All-clear for Fallon after fall

SCANS and x-rays carried out on Kieren Fallon in Dublin on Monday revealed no broken bones, according to Turf Club medical officer Dr Walter Halley on Tuesday.
"I'm glad to report that all the tests carried out on Kieren were clear and that no fractures are involved,” Dr Halley said. “He's still bruised and a bit stiff, but otherwise he's fine."
Fallon took a fall from the Aidan O'Brien-trained Eagle Mountain in the Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp on Saturday evening and has not ridden since.
He missed the winning ride on Peeping Fawn in the Darley Irish Oaks at the Curragh on Sunday, when Johnny Murtagh deputised.
O'Brien said on Tuesday: "Kieren has got the all-clear and I'd imagine he will be back in action at the weekend."
