    "…………….a jockey would be excused for mild interference especially one trying to win as opposed to Frankie’s mount who should have stayed at home since he did not see out the distance of the Derby,and everyone knew that ?……………"

    Andy, I’m far from being Dettori’s biggest fan but I cant agre with what you have said above.

    Rio De La Plata, finished 7th. (might well have been closer if the horse hadn’t lost momentum when New Approach crossed him) and, OK, 12 furlongs might not be his optimum trip, but it would be difficult to label him as a blatant non-stayer on yesterday’s performance.
