Dettori Taking It Easy

Frankie Dettori begins a lengthy suspension today and his absence further increased when injury forced him out of yesterday's action.

The rider sustained a shoulder injury when unshipped by Spring City on the way to the start before the Racing Post Maiden Stakes at Headquarters on Wednesday.

Dettori's 14-day ban, which he picked up for his winning ride on Ramonti in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot, runs until July 26.

'He hurt his shoulder when he fell off on Wednesday,' said Dettori's agent Ray Cochrane.

'He's got plenty of time off now for it to heal now anyway!'
