Frankie Dettori’ s dream of riding in this year’s Kentucky Derby has suffered a setback after potential mount Newgate was ruled out until the summer.
During his winter stay in California, Dettori has made no secret of his desire to compete in the Kentucky Derby in May in his retirement year.
He looked to have found a suitable partner when he steered the Bob Baffert-trained Newgate to a last to first victory in a Grade 3 race at Santa Anita last weekend.
