Dettori adds two more to title tally

FRANKIE DETTORI strengthened an already vice-like grip on the jockeys’ championship with two more winners at Lingfield Park yesterday to go 16 clear of absent rival Kieren Fallon.

With the champion giving up his rides to wait for a Friday return after his bone-crunching fall on Monday, Dettori snapped up the opportunity to extend his lead.

It is looking very much like a one-horse title race now as the Italian continues his quest for a third crown.
