Bellewstown wrote its second Hollywood script today and Frankie Dettori said he felt like a Ryder Cup golfer as the legendary jockey made his first ride at the track a winning one.
Dettori made his debut at the Meath course to honour Barney Curley, the instigator of Bellewstown’s infamous Yellow Sam coup who died in May, and to help raise funds for DAFA (Direct Aid For Africa), the charity set up by his late mentor.
