Dettori in Ballydoyle mix Aidan O'Brien has admitted Frankie Dettori is in the frame to ride for the stable this season. The jockey is hoping to get clearance early next week from the French authorities to return to race-riding after his six-month worldwide ban and he has ridden work at Ballydoyle this spring. Asked at the Curragh today if he would like to use Dettori this season, O'Brien said: "Absolutely, Frankie has always been a great rider, he still is and always will be." O'Brien added that he hoped to finalise his Derby riding plans in the middle of the week. He said: "We have a great team of riders and hopefully we will get the team sorted in middle of the week."
