Cieren Fallon

In the last twelve months alone, he has ridden 135 winners from 795 races — that's roughly 1 in every 6 rides turning into a winner, which is a genuinely impressive clip at any level of the sport. But what sets Fallon apart isn't just the volume. He has won 15 top-level races in his career, at tracks including Lingfield Park, Windsor, and Haydock Park. Those are the races where the best horses in the country line up, and winning even one of them is a career highlight for most jockeys. He has fifteen. Most recently, he landed Class 1 victories at both York and Chester in September 2025 — two of the most prestigious venues in Britain — within a week of each other.

His most productive working relationship is with trainer William Haggas, and the numbers there are striking. From 224 races together, they have combined for 65 wins — that's nearly 1 in every 3 rides converting into a winner. A 29% win rate with a single trainer suggests something beyond just booking availability; it suggests genuine trust, communication, and a partnership that brings out the best in the horses between them.

There is also a curious corner of his record worth noting: Ffos Las, a smaller track tucked away in South Wales, where Fallon has won 7 times from just 13 races. Winning more than half your races at any track is extraordinary — it hints at a rider who doesn't just turn up, but arrives prepared and switched on wherever he goes.

The Fallon name carries weight in British racing — his father Kieren was champion jockey six times — but Cieren is clearly building something of his own. The big-race wins are already there. The numbers are already impressive. At just four years in, the ceiling looks very high indeed.
