Frankie Dettori can look forward to riding a colt he named after himself before he heads into retirement at the end of the year.
Offered the chance to christen one of Prince Faisal Salman’s yearlings at his Denford Stud in Berkshire, he picked a son of Frankel out of Coronet which will be trained by John and Thady Gosden and called Lanfranco.
“We have had the Lanfranco name on annual retention for a few years and were amazed it was available,” said Richard Evans, farm manager at Denford Stud.
