Cieren Fallon claimed a landmark first Group One success aboard Oxted in the Darley July Cup at Newmarket. Fallon, son of former champion Kieren, was the leading apprentice last season and was making his breakthrough at the highest level aboard the Roger Teal-trained victor. He made a bold move over two furlongs from home on the four-year-old, and had a length and a quarter to spare over the field..                        Andrew Nelis Racing 

£20 Risk Free First Bet Roger Teal will send talented sprinter Oxted straight to next month’s Darley July Cup at Newmarket after deciding to bypass an outing at Royal Ascot. The Lambourn handler planned to give the four-year-old a first start at Group One level in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes on Saturday following his inaugural Pattern race victory in the Group Three Abernant Stakes at Newmarket. However, after having a change of heart, Teal will now give Oxted his top level debut on the July Course. Teal said: “Oxted is fine but I just want to give him more time, so I will keep him fresh for the July Cup. “He is only four so I thought Ascot would come too soon. If I look after him now, he will look after me later. “The owners are all happy to wait for Newmarket.”.
