International star Dettori rides this weekend ahead at Santa Anita

A week after winning two races on British Champions Day at Ascot, international superstar Frankie Dettori is in town to ride at Santa Anita beginning with Saturday’s card.

Last Saturday in England, Dettori won the GI Champions Stakes aboard King of Steel and the GI Queen Elizabeth II with Big Rock. At Santa Anita this Saturday, Dettori has four mounts booked. He’s set to ride maiden Machiavellique (6-1) in the third race for trainer Leonard Powell, maiden Circle of Trust (3-1) in the fifth for trainer Phil D’Amato and Grace Period (3-1) in an allowance for Powell that goes as the seventh. In the featured Lure Stakes at a mile on turf, which goes as the ninth and final, Dettori has the call on eastern-invader Easter (3-1) for trainer Graham Motion.
