Frankie Dettori

Frankie Dettori temporarily suspended from riding in France

Frankie Dettori has been temporarily suspended from riding in France due to this week's case over his positive test for a banned substance.

Dettori made the headlines last month when his 18-year association with Godolphin came to an end

Frankie Dettori failed test 'not performance-enhancing'

Frankie Dettori's failed test over a banned substance at Longchamp in September was not for a performance-enhancing drug, his solicitor has said.

Frankie Dettori starts new chapter with full book

For Frankie Dettori, the first day of the rest of his professional life could be said to be tomorrow at Newmarket. His book of seven mounts includes two in the silks of Godolphin, with whom he ended an 18-year association on Sunday, but while there will be necessarily some business as usual for the moment, life as a freelance awaits the Italian next year. And with it, an intriguing possible tilt at a fourth jockeys' championship.

Richard Hughes

Richard Hughes joins Frankie Dettori up in seven heaven after beating odds of 10,168-1

A season dominated by Frankel reaches a poignant finale in what is expected to prove his final appearance at Ascot on Saturday. But even he will do well to match the emphasis with which its outstanding jockey sealed his status yesterday.

Orfevre defeat snatched from jaws of Triomphe

The bewildering fact remains that Solemia, shock winner of the richest prize on the European Turf, would have won by seven lengths – rather than a mere neck – had Orfevre not been in the field at Longchamp on Sunday. But while she may yet lend substance to her transformation, at the Breeders' Cup next month, the consensus among aficionados leaving Paris yesterday was that Orfevre had been handsomely the best horse in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. The return of the rain that had laid the ground for Solemia's sunlit ambush suggested one obvious culprit. Many, however, were also inclined to volunteer another.

Heavens replaces her brother for Arc

The Turf seldom dispenses its favours evenly, but there was unmistakable symmetry yesterday to the latest twists in a topsy-turvy build-up to one of its greatest prizes. First Great Heavens was supplemented to the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp on Sunday, as a replacement for her brother, Nathaniel, who had joined Snow Fairy and Danedream on the sidelines on Tuesday. And then Ryan Moore was given the chance to conjure a happier climax to a saga nearly identical to the one that ended in disappointment in last year's race.
