EASY FOR FALLON AND ALEXANDROVA
By Martin Kelly, PA Sport
Kieren Fallon did what he does best as he guided Alexandrova to a hugely impressive victory in the Darley Irish Oaks at the Curragh.
The six-times champion rode a supremely confident race on the Aidan O'Brien-trained 8-15 favourite, sitting in last place before weaving through the field to take up he running inside the final furlong.
Sir Michael Stoute's Scottish Stage (13-2), who chased the long-time leader Flyingit from the outset, was four lengths in arrears, with Rising Cross back in third.
