Banned Dettori is set to miss Glorious Goodwood

- By MARCUS TOWNEND

FRANKIE DETTORI was left ‘devastated’ after picking up a 10-day careless riding ban at Newmarket yesterday which rules him out of the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes — plus the whole of Glorious Goodwood. Among the rides the Italian will miss are Without Parole in the Sussex Stakes and Stradivari­us in the Goodwood Cup. The Stewards imposed the suspension after his mount Angel’s Hideaway, runner-up in the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes, veered to the right and cannoned into Main Edition who, in turn, collided with favourite La Pelosa. Dettori’s ban runs from July 27 to August 5 and he said: ‘I’m devastated, of course. I will think about an appeal. I’ve got to check with the PJA (Profession­al Jockeys Associatio­n) and look at the videos again.’ The Duchess of Cambridge Stakes was won emphatical­ly by Michael Bell-trained Pretty Pollyanna. The Silvestre De Sousa-ridden, seven-length scorer is the early 12-1 favourite for the 2019 1,000 Guineas. Jessica Harrington-trained Alpha Centauri followed up her easy win in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot with an equally facile four-and-a-half length victory under Colm O’Donoghue in the Falmouth Stakes.
