Fallon confirmed for Youm Arc bid
Kieren Fallon will team up with Youmzain once again in next month’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp.
The six-times champion jockey partnered Mick Channon’s six-year-old to finish third in the Grosser Preis von Baden in Germany on his latest start.
Fallon was riding the son of Sinndar for just the second time after steering him to Group One victory in Germany back in 2006.
Youmzain has finished second in the Arc for the last two years with Fallon riding Dylan Thomas to victory in 2007 before sitting out his well-documented 18-month ban.
“He’s in really great form. He’s so well he doesn’t know what to do with himself,” the trainer told www.mickchannon.tv.
“I’ve never seen him come out of a race as well – it’s all systems go for Longchamp and Kieren Fallon rides.”
