His skill and commitment made him \u003cb\u003ea punter’s favourite\u003c\/b\u003e.  His magnificent record, which saw him crowned Champion Jockey on six occasions, ensured he became \u003cb\u003eone of racing’s biggest stars\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e But that was only ever part of the story. Having come over to the UK from Ireland to make his name, Fallon’s combative nature brought him to the attention of the racing authorities. When he dragged a rival jockey off his mount in 1994, he began a series of run-ins that would eventually see him on trial in the Old Bailey, accused of race fixing. Although the judge eventually ruled that there was no case to answer, the damage to his career and reputation had been done.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eForm\u003c\/i\u003e, Kieren Fallon provides a \u003cb\u003esearingly honest account\u003c\/b\u003e of his life, and the pressures he faced to get to the top of his sport, where winning was never enough, and where relaxation came in the shape of a bottle of vodka or a meal that had to be ‘flipped’ immediately to ensure he maintained his weight. He worked with some of the best trainers and won all the biggest races, but true happiness only ever really came to him when he was on the back of a horse – a joy that he still feels now that he has retired from racing as he rides work early in the morning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrutally honest as well as entertaining, this is a unique sporting memoir.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57538786001270,"sku":"9781471166549","price":6.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_31850397.jpg?v=1774336626","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781471166549-form","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
