Dettori Festival Plans Dismissed Reports that Frankie Dettori could be in action at the Cheltenham Festival have been dismissed by his agent. It had been suggested the popular Italian would follow other leading Flat jockeys Kieren Fallon and Jamie Spencer by taking a ride in the Weatherbys Champion Bumper. However, Dettori´s agent Ray Cochrane said although it had been discussed in the past, it was out of the question as the jockey was committed to riding in Dubai for his employers Godolphin. 'He won´t be riding in the bumper this year,' said Cochrane, a former Flat jockey himself who had a spell riding over hurdles. 'There´s always a might be, might be, but I can guarantee you he won´t be riding in the bumper at Cheltenham, he´ll be in Dubai. 'It has been discussed before but it won´t be happening.'(C) PA Sport
