Johnston and Dettori look for manxman success at Kempton
THE new link between Mark Johnston and Frankie Dettori can pay an early dividend at Kempton tomorrow with Manxman in the Digibet Median Auction Maiden Stakes.
With Godolphin seemingly having more strength in depth than ever looking at the way they ended last season, the Italian has set his sights on reaching 150 winners this season – a number that could see him crowned as champion.
As his main stable are not planning to have any runners before Newmarket's Craven meeting in two weeks time, Dettori has joined forces with the Middleham maestro to ride a large chunk of his horses owned by Sheikh Mohammed's son.
Manxman has shown a decent level of ability in maidens without being a superstar, but the key to him surely will be being stepped up in trip.
