Frankie a step closer to Motivator ride

Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford today said it was “quite likely” that Frankie Dettori would be free to ride Motivator in the Baileys Irish Champion Stakes on Saturday week.

Although the Italian’s services would be required if Godolphin have a runner in either the Leopardstown contest or the same day’s Ladbrokes St Leger at Doncaster.
