Dettori to miss Eclipse
FRANKIE DETTORI'S Royal Ascot went from better to worse on Friday when he collected a six-day riding ban that will rule him out of summer highlight, the Coral-Eclipse Stakes.
The Godolphin stable jockey was stood down July 5 to July 10 inclusive for breaching the whip instructions on Red Rocks who finished a neck second in the King Edward VII Stakes.
Earlier Dettori finally made it onto the Royal Meeting score sheet when partnering his first winner of the week on Sander Camillo in the Albany
Stakes, but in the following race was found guilty of using his whip with excessive frequency and without giving his mount time to respond.
The day before he had collected two days for careless riding [July 3 and 4] on Guadalajara in the Ascot Gold Cup and unless he mounts an appeal he is ruled out of the Sandown showpiece, in which Godolphin have engaged Electrocutionist, Lateen Sails, Proclamation and Shawanda. Ouija Board, who Dettori has also ridden, is engaged as well.
Stipendiary steward William Nunneley said: "Dettori hit Red Rocks 19 times in the final furlong and a half, nine with his left hand and ten with his right. Ten of the blows were in very quick succession."
