FRANKIE`S MOUNT LATE CUP ABSENTEE

Disaster struck Frankie Dettori`s bid for the Singapore Cup today - hours before racing even began at Kranji racecourse.

The Italian, who arrived on the island from Dubai on Friday, was left without a ride in the stg#400,000 event when his intended mount Happy Diamond had to be scratched.

Godolphin`s colt was announced a shock non-runner in the mile-and-a-quarter event - for which he had been a leading fancy - due to a respiratory complaint.

There was also disappointment for the large travelling Australian contingent as Forgotten Hero, trained on the Gold Coast by Kaye Tinsley, was withdrawn on the day of the race due to tendonitis.
