Frankie Dettori is considering if there is “room to appeal” against the nine-day ban that rules him out of the ride aboard Emily Upjohn in next month’s Coral-Eclipse Stakes.
The Ascot stewards deemed Dettori guilty of careless riding aboard the King’s Saga in the Wolferton Stakes on Tuesday and suspended him from July 4 to 12 inclusive.
Dettori, whose mount hampered the James McDonald-partnered Cadillac, was due to ride the John and Thady Gosden-trained Emily Upjohn, William Hill’s 5-4 favourite for Sandown Park’s clash of the generations on July 8.
