‘I don't think there's any negative and he's impressed me the most' – Frankie Dettori's Derby tip
IF you want to find the winner of the Derby then you could do a lot worse than ask two-time winner Frankie Dettori. The world's most famous jockey ended his agonising wait to win it in 2007 with Authorized. Advertisement 1 Frankie Dettori, won the Derby twice, reckons there's one horse who stands head and shoulders above the rest in this year's race Credit: PA:Press Association And he crowned himself King of Epsom one more time in 2015 aboard the awesome Golden Horn. No one knows the undulations of the Downs better than Frankie - or what it takes to win on it. And one horse in particular this season has impressed him above all others. Asked who he would back in the £1.5million contest, Dettori went against old employers Godolphin and John Gosden. Advertisement And instead plumped for a British trainer to keep his awesome big race-winning run going. Ralph Beckett won the Arc de Triomphe last year with wondermare Bluestocking. Dettori - who recently issued a big career update amid his bankruptcy storm - reckons he can scoop the British equivalent this year with Dante winner Pride Of Arras. The iconic jockey told Stake: "Pride Of Arras won in the style of a Derby winner in the Dante. Advertisement "The only thing that might muddle him is the size of the field. "It is close to a maximum field and he's only run twice, so it won't be easy. "He'll have to manage his way through the traffic. He does have a good cruising speed, though, and a good turn of foot. "He's the one which has impressed me the most in the Derby trials. Advertisement "It's just the lack of experience which disadvantages him. It's very hard to win this race on only your third start, so that's the one thing which puts me off a bit. "Ruling Court is a serious horse. What he showed in the Guineas was very impressive, but it's that massive question mark, will he get a mile and a half? "We know that a mile and quarter is within his reach because he hit the line very strongly at Newmarket, but this is another two furlongs. "He's an amazing, talented horse, but he's got a massive question mark to me. Advertisement "Damysus looks a very solid horse, but to me Pride Of Arras was much better than him in the Dante and we expect him to improve a bit here, so the gap is looking a bit too far to bridge to me. "Pride Of Arras would be the one I'd put my fiver on. "It's a very exciting race and it is wide open. We've already made a case for a good number of them, and it's very interesting." Dettori also had strong word for Ryan Moore's mount Delacroix. Advertisement However, his draw in 14 has sparked a market drift as money comes for 2,000 Guineas hero Ruling Court instead. Betfred have the two joint-favourites, while Ladbrokes continue to cut Charlie Appleby's Godolphin colt. The firm's Alex Apati said: "We could be on course for a significant shake-up in the Derby betting over the next few days. "Despite Ryan Moore being on board the favourite, punters' recent interest is seemingly elsewhere. Advertisement "We may well be looking at a new frontrunner in the field come Saturday afternoon."

I was a ‘hard as nails' six-time champion jockey – there's two things I HATE about racing today
DOUBLE TROUBLE I was a 'hard as nails' six-time champion jockey – there's two things I HATE about racing today A WINNER of the Derby, Oaks, Arc and both Guineas - 'hard as nails' and a six-time champion jockey akin to a horse whisperer. Kieren Fallon did it all - some of it not so good - in his legendary career. Advertisement 2 Legendary jockey Kieren Fallon won it all in his star-studded career including the Derby multiple times Credit: PA:Press Association 2 But now the 60-year-old, having had time to reflect on his career out of the saddle, says there are two things he cannot stand about racing today But the iconic rider has revealed two things he simply cannot stand about watching racing today. Fallon, now 60, was a punter's pal during his heyday in the late Nineties and early Noughties. Only one year out of seven, when Kevin Darley won in 2000, was he not crowned the best in Britain. The victories and millions upon millions in prize money piled up high for the Irish rider. Advertisement And he had his own way of doing things. Fallon didn't like to ride hold-up style, sitting at the back and waiting for the gaps to appear with a late burst of speed. He always preferred to be up with the pace, ensuring a true gallop and stretching out the field to give the best horse the best chance. That partly explains one of his gripes with the way racing has gone today. Advertisement Fallon, who won the Epsom Oaks and Derby four and three times respectively, got the issue off his chest on Luck On Sunday. Now a work rider for Godolphin's No1 trainer Charlie Appleby, Fallon said there is one riding style he cannot stand. Opening up on his pet peeves, Fallon, dad of current jockey Cieren, said: "I hate these false rails. "I think, for one, it takes the art of race-riding out of it. Advertisement "Now, for a punter and from a betting point of view, they're great because it opens up the race. "But when they came out at first I didn't agree with them. "Another thing I don't agree with is coming up the centre of the racecourse - it opens it up for everyone. "But, if you have a bet, and your horse is in behind it gives you a lot more chance than if you stay on the rail. Advertisement "But that's the fun and that's the art of it." Fallon also opened up on what it's like to work for Appleby. The Southampton boy completed a Guineas double this year with Desert Flower - red-hot favourite for the Oaks - and Ruling Court winning the 1000 and 2000 Guineas respectively. Fallon said Desert Flower is the one of the two he'd most like to ride at Epsom. Advertisement But, despite his considerable experience, he's not allowed on the top young talent at Appleby's Moulton Paddocks yard. He joked: "He doesn't let me have much to do with the two-year-olds. "He says once you're over 55 you can't be riding yearlings - he's a p***-taker, Charlie is! "But he's a great guy to work for, he's fun."
