Kieren & Cieren Fallon: Father and son on winning, riding and the future

Kieren and Cieen Fallon's son started riding aged 18 and within three years has secured a Group One win and a big retainer. Cieren is now on track to be champion apprentice jockey for the second year running. He will ride Oxted at Ascot's British Champions Day on Saturday.

Kieren Fallon's son Cieen rode for top trainers and won the Derby at Epsom three times. He also served two bans after testing positive for cocaine and was cleared at the Old Bailey of race-fixing allegations. Kie Ren retired after suffering from depression. Cenen rides for trainer Ed Dunlop in Newmarket.

Cieren Fallon was hired by Qatar Racing as second rider behind Oisin Murphy. Kiere's father won on horses that shouldn't have won. Cieen is ready to take a lesson from his father in winning when the odds are against him. Kieran's final Classic triumph came aboard 40-1 shot Night Of Thunder in the 2,000 Guineas six years ago.
