BHA STATEMENT REGARDING THE LICENSING STATUS OF FRANKIE DETTORI

17 May 2013 Pre-2014 Releases

A BHA spokesman said:

“The BHA has received notification from France Galop that they are not prepared to sanction Frankie Dettori as fit to race ride until he has had a meeting with their Medical Committee. Consequently, in line with the position outlined to Dettori by the BHA’s Licensing Committee at their meeting on Tuesday 14th May, and in the absence of clearance from France, no licence will be issued while such matters remain outstanding.

“BHA is seeking further clarification from France Galop but is unable to make any additional comment at this time.”
