BELLOMI KEEPS HIS NERVE

Eddie Ahern rode Bellomi down to the start early for the final race on Ladies Day and the strategy reaped a handsome dividend when the three-year-old scooted clear in the Tattenham Stakes to record the second victory of his career.

He can be a little bit wound up, so we took him down early. Its a very fine line with him and Williams got it just right, said Gail Hucking, assistant to trainer William Haggas, who is at Doncaster for the evening meeting tonight.

The horse had won his maiden last year when trained by Mick Chanon. That win had come on fast ground, but connections were not concerned that the ground would be too slow. Our only worry was that they would not go fast enough, but they did, said Hucking.

There were no immediate plans for Bellomi, who will now probably see his official rating move into the nineties. Going to Ascot, though, was ruled out.

FOUR-DAY BAN FOR DETTORI

Frankie Dettori incurred a four-day ban in total (Sunday, June 22 -Wednesday, June 25), following his winning ride on Emirates Skyline in the totesport betXtra Rose Bowl.

The stewards held that Dettoris mount interfered with Mr Aviator, who finished 10th, inside the three-furlong marker, and that this was due to careless riding in that he made a manoeuvre to his right when not sufficiently clear. For this incident, he was given a three-day ban.

In the second incident, the stewards found that Dettori had interfered with seventh-placed Eradicate inside the two-furlong marker and that this was due to careless riding, in that he had allowed Emirates Skyline to drift left without taking sufficient corrective action. For this, he received a one-day ban.
