Frankie Is Not Riding For John and Thady Gosden This Weekend

Frankie Dettori’s team have been said to be shocked and ‘in the dark’ about the situation that saw the pocket Italian NOT booked to ride two of John Gosden’s Newmarket runners this Saturday, despite being in action at his home track.

Yes, Frankie has been booked to ride the Ralph Beckett-trained Lezoo (2:05), but Gosden has Sunray Major (3:15) and Stowell (2:40) also in action at the track. Frankie had ridden both horses in the bulk of their recent runs but has been replaced by James Doyle (Sunray Major) and Robert Havlin (Stowell).

The latest is that Frankie’s team called the Gosden office to dicuss his rides for Saturday, but failed to get a reply – later to find out Havlin and Doyle (James) had been booked to ride their Saturday runners at HQ instead.

Friday showdown talks are also rumoured, but this latest move by Gosden after some critical comments about Frankie’s rides at Royal Ascot last time – in particular on Stradivarius in the Gold Cup – doesn’t bode well for the Italian.

Hollie Doyle Favourite To Replace Frankie At John Gosden’s Yard

With the news flying through the racing media, Betfair SportsBook were quick to get a market up on which jockey will take over from Frankie – should the Gosden team officially announce they are looking for a new number one stable jockey.

It’s Hollie Doyle @ 1/3 with Betfair Sportsbook that’s been installed as the clear odds-on favourite in the betting to be Gosden’s next stable jockey, with the Irish-based Colin Keane @ 7/1 with Betfair Sportsbook and James Doyle second favourite @ 9/2 with Betfair Sportsbook.
