Multiple champion jockey Kieren Fallon is set for a short period on the sidelines after picking up a chest infection.

Fallon rode the unplaced It’s Your Turn in the opening five-furlong maiden at Down Royal on Saturday, but gave up the remainder of his rides after feeling unwell.

He was due to take three mounts at Gowran Park this afternoon, but will now sit out the action.

Fallon’s agent, Ruaidhri Tierney, said: “Kieren rode in the first at Down Royal yesterday, but felt terrible afterwards.

“He went to see the Turf Club doctor on Saturday night and he has a very bad chest infection.

“He’s put him on some strong medication and he’ll need a couple of days off.

“He won’t be riding today, but once the medication kicks in he should be fine.

“I’d say he’ll be back riding on either Tuesday or Wednesday.”
