Dettori has riding ban reduced but still misses high-profile mounts Frankie Dettori will miss the rides on Without Parole and Stradivarius at Goodwood next week, despite having a 10-day suspension for careless riding reduced on appeal at a hearing in London. The Italian incurred the ban after finishing second aboard Angel’s Hideaway in the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket on July 13, a race won by Pretty Pollyanna. He was found guilty of careless riding in that he allowed his mount to shift right without sufficient correction in the Group Two heat, with Main Edition and La Pelosa among those suffering interference in behind. Dettori was banned from July 27 to August 5 inclusive, which ruled him out of this weekend’s King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot, as well as the mounts on ante-post favourites Stradivarius in Tuesday’s Goodwood Cup and Without Parole in Wednesday’s Sussex Stakes. He contested that decision and while the appeal board dismissed Dettori’s appeal against the Newmarket stewards’ finding of careless riding, it did opt to cut his suspension by four days. That reduction will allow Dettori to resume riding on the Thursday of the fixture, when the Qatar Nassau Stakes is the Group One feature.
