Dettori angered by weight issue

Frankie Dettori has threatened to quit the Jockeys’ Association over the minimum riding weight, which he claims is having a detrimental effect on the health of riders in Britain.

The former champion is arguing the lowest threshold for Flat riders should be increased to stave off problems of dehydration, inadequate body fat and bone density, all of which were highlighted by a study from the University of Limerick.
