Kieren Fallon rode his 100th winner of the season at Lingfield as his pursuit of the jockeys’ title continued.
The six-time champion has passed Silvestre de Sousa and now has Paul Hanagan in his sights, so was pleased to reach his latest milestone in the Oilfield Insurance Agencies Handicap.
The 11-4 favourite Miss Blink was sent down from Yorkshire by Robin Bastiman and hit the front with plenty of time to spare.
“When you’re on 99, the next one seems harder to get,” Fallon said.
“I thought I’d do it last night (at Kempton) but it didn’t happen and it’s nice to get it.”
When asked about a title challenge, he added: “I’ll be trying. I’m confident, but it will be tough to pull back 11 from Paul at this stage of the season, as he has got a strong team.”
