Kieren Fallon notched a treble on Sight First, Air Force One and Smart Kid at Sha Tin yesterday but his day was spoiled by a ban and a large fine.

The stewards found Fallon guilty of careless riding on Air Force One, banning him from November 25th to December 4th, and the jockey incurred the wrath of the stewards again for his riding of Johan Cruyff, who was fourth in a later race. After listening to the rider's explanation they deemed that he failed to ride Johan Cruyff out to the finish and fined him £3,879. Peter Chapple-Hyam celebrated the second victory of his new career in Hong Kong when Highland Legend won a seven-furlong handicap by two and a quarter lengths.

And today Pat Eddery heads to Southwell in search of the one victory he needs to keep up his remarkable sequence of 100-winner seasons in Britain..

The 11-time champion jockey, fresh from a double at Wolverhampton on Saturday, rides in all five races open to professionals as he bids to reach three figures for the 26th time in the past 27 years.

"He's got five rides tomorrow and some good chances - but we thought he would have got the 100 at Wolverhampton," said Eddery's agent Mike Hawkett.

Eddery will continue in action on the all-weather for the rest of the week before serving his suspension (which starts a week tomorrow) and then heading out to Hong Kong to ride Silver Patriarch at Sha Tin on December 12th.

Since Eddery first reached 100 winners in 1973 in his second full season out of apprenticeship he has repeated the feat every year bar 1982 when he rode in this country on Saturdays and won the Irish jockeys' championship.

Eddery, who is 47, would certainly have made it to 100 during the turf season but for a long spell on the sidelines after a fall in Austria in June.
