Big day for Dettori at HQ23rd October 2012
Frankie Dettori has a full book of rides at Newmarket on Wednesday, all for different trainers, as he returns to action for the first time since the announcement he will not by retained by Godolphin in 2013.
Two of his rides are for Sheikh Mohammed's outfit - the Saeed bin Suroor-trained Ikhtisas in division one of the British Stallion Studs EBF TBA Maiden Stakes and Mahmood Al Zarooni's Quintilian in the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association Nursery.
It is business as usual in that respect, despite the shock news on Sunday that Dettori will end his 18-year association with Godolphin.
