Frankie Dettori set for Prix Jacques Le Marois
What you need to know:
- He will miss out on the Ebor Festival, particularly Lord North in the Juddmonte International.
Palace Pier (Frankie Dettori 2-1), is set for Sunday's Prix Jacques le Marois, at Deauville, even with strict quarantine adherences to comply with upon returning to Britain.
He will miss out on the Ebor Festival, particularly Lord North in the Juddmonte International.
John Gosden's Palace Pier, can be remembered for shining brightly in June's Ascot Saint James, and he is looking to replicate his sire, Kingman, who brought happiness in France, a few years back.
The colt faces tough opposition from an Irish contingent in Romanised (Bily Lee 2-1), Circus Maximus (Christophe Soumillon 3-1), and, Alpine Star (Stephane Pasquier 3-1).
Persian King (Pierre Charles Boudot 3-1), Pretreville (Cristian Demuro 4-1), and, Restiany (Maxime Guyon 5-1), are rallying together from Andre Fabre's yard. As is evident, it is a really closely bunched set of individuals for which Bookies are reluctant to separate.
Dettori will also ride Mishriff in the Prix Guillaume d'Ornano and sacrifices are being made from all corners.

Canterbury Park stewards have dished out Denny Velaszquez with a 12-month suspension, plus $10,000 fine, after a tip-off that there might be some incriminating evidence in his car.
They found a buzzer, loaded gun, and nine exhibits. This was apparently a maximum sentence available to Stewards regarding Minnesota Statute laws.
It may even go further up to the Racing Commission, which can issue an even heavier punishment. They are that upset to request a five-year suspension with $50,000 icing.
A gun/buzzer, call for answers to integrity, safety, welfare, and many questions as to their intended use, although it is obvious.
