The inaugural day of the 2024 Flat season at Doncaster William Hill Lincoln event witnessed two jockeys from esteemed racing lineages seizing the spotlight in a captivating display.
David Egan, son of Group 1-winning stalwart John, commenced his tenure with Amo Racing in grand fashion by guiding the 33/1 outsider Mr Professor to a stunning victory in the Lincoln.
Meanwhile, Kieren Fallon, the progeny of six-time Champion Jockey Kieren, showcased his finesse in the saddle with a masterful ride on Montassib in the William Hill Cammidge Trophy. Negotiating from last to first on the William Haggas-trained sprinter, Fallon's adeptness shone through on a day where stamina was paramount.
Amidst soft ground and a formidable headwind, Montassib's timely victory underscored the importance of endurance. Fallon's triumphant return from injury and Egan's promising debut with Amo Racing foreshadows a promising start to the Flat season for both jockeys.
