Fallon makes a successful return All eyes were on Kieren Fallon at Tipperary this evening as he returned from a six month drug ban, and his legion of supporters were not let down as the former champion made a successful comeback on the Aidan O?Brien-trained The Bogberry.Fallon, sidelined as a result of testing positive for cocaine at Chantilly last year, received a great reception from racegoers both on entering the parade ring before the opening juvenile maiden and again when returning triumphant on the 4/7 favourite.However the victory was far from simple as the son of Hawk Wing appeared to have plenty to do when trapped on the far rail approaching the straight.Fallon had to switch his mount out in order to get a clear run, and made up at least four lengths from a furlong and a half out to get up in the closing strides.?It?s great to be back and the crowd have been unbelievable. It helped give me confidence knowing they were behind me. Things didn?t go to plan in the race but at least he won,? said a delighted Fallon.O?Brien was full of praise for his stable jockey saying, ?At the furlong marker I thought he couldn?t win but Kieren did really well to get him up. Hopefully he will go to Royal Ascot now for the Chesham Stakes.?Fallon was out of luck on his only other ride as Flying Cheetah trailed home last in the sprint handicap, where the Shane Gorey-ridden Fly By Magic just got the better of Lilly Be.
