Cherry Ripe In Italy Frankie Dettori returned to his homeland and scooped the Grand Premio del Jockey Club at San Siro aboard Cherry Mix to provide Godolphin with a welcome Group One success. The Italian sent the four-year-old grey to the front down the back straight before setting sail for home off the final bend in the 12-furlong feature. Cherry Mix, last seen finishing 12th in the Prix de l´Arc de Triomphe, readily put daylight between himself and his seven rivals and never looked like being caught after hitting top gear. Salutino came from out of the pack to take second three lengths away with Malinas finishing third. Cherry Mix was sent off the 2-1 favourite and Dettori said: 'In the Arc he was not relaxed and ran a bad race but today we saw the real Cherry Mix and we didn´t have any problems. 'I set a good pace because I knew the mile and a half was maybe too far for Vol de Nuit and Cherry Mix was much better than the others.'(C) PA Sport
