Frankie Booked Early


Frankie Dettori will ride Casamento in the Racing Post Trophy after the colt was supplemented for the Group One feature at Doncaster on Saturday.

Trainer Michael Halford expressed his delight at having the Italian on board his Beresford Stakes winner, who is owned by Dettori's boss, Sheikh Mohammed. Casamento was given the thumbs up to go to Town Moor following a spin on the gallops and after all the routine health checks.

"We're happy with him and we've supplemented him. He's quite fit so we just wanted to see that he was well. We checked him out, checked his blood and had him scoped. He's fine. Frankie rides and it's terrific to have him. I've spoken to Doncaster about the ground. They say it's good to soft, so that will be fine," said Halford.
