FORMER champion jockey Kieren Fallon had his second winner ever at Down Royal yesterday . . . almost 30 years after he had landed his first.

Fallon who scored at the Northern track when he was an 18-year-old apprentice for Kevin Prendergast was successful this time on Consulate, who was winning for trainer David Wachman in Her Majesty's Plate.

It took a class piece of riding by Fallon to get Consulate up for with less than a furlong to run he appeared beaten as he was over a length and ahalf behind the leader Temlett who won the Ulster Derby over the course in June.

Fallon switched Consulate from the rails to the outside and in a hectic battle for the post Consulate dug keep to get up by a neck.

Afterwards a delighted Fallon said, "My previous win here was on Jim Thorpe for Kevin Prendergast when I was a teenage apprentice. I made all the running on that occasion and it was en entirely different state of affairs today."
