Frankie Dettori and John Gosden have reunited after racing’s greatest double act had briefly separated.
Following Dettori’s ill-judged riding at Royal Ascot last month, Gosden called for a ‘sabbatical’ – but that is already over. Yesterday, Dettori teamed up with the man who had saved his career, which appeared to be over in 2012, when partnering Irish Oaks contender Emily Upjohn in a 6am gallop at Newmarket racecourse.
Regarding Emily Upjohn’s controversial defeat in the Oaks at Epsom when second behind Tuesday, Gosden said: “The less we say about Epsom the better. You know what it is all about. I need a jockey that focuses. It can’t be a part-time job.
