Fallon back in winners enclosure Kieren Fallon enjoyed his first winner since returning from an 18-month ban when Our Kes emerged triumphant at Wolverhampton on Saturday evening. Sent off the 7-2 favourite, Our Kes was perfectly placed throughout for Fallon before making his move on the home turn. The six-times champion rider kicked on over a furlong out and the Paul Howling-trained runner ran out a comfortable winner over Annambo. Fallon has been absent on British racecourses since June 2006 due to a combination of the Old Bailey trial into alleged race-fixing, which ended in the judge ruling there was no case to answer, and an 18-month drugs suspension imposed by the French authorities. He drew a blank in his seven rides on Friday, while five rides at Haydock this afternoon failed to bear fruit. However, Our Kes did the business for Fallon in the William Hill 0800 444040 - Get 25 Free Bet Handicap, sitting in behind in fourth before swooping to pull three-quarters of a length clear at the line. He said: "I had some good rides but at least now I can relax and ride proper races. "It is a confidence thing - if you are not riding winners and have not done for the last couple of years, then you don't have the confidence but hopefully it will build from here. "I have said all along that even with all the homework and training you do, there is only one thing that can get you race-fit and that is race-riding. "It is fantastic and gives me a lot of confidence."
