BORUSSIA DORTMUND star Marco Reus’ wife Scarlett and Frankie Dettori’s 18-year-old daughter will race against each other at Glorious Goodwood.
The duo have been named in the line-up for the Magnolia Cup.
The fundraiser will be run for charity Smart Works and takes place on July 29 – Ladies’ Day at the prestigious festival.
Scarlett and Ella – one of legendary jockey Dettori’s five children – will race against ten others in the five-and-a-half furlong contest.
Model Vogue Williams, Olympic hero Victoria Pendleton and former The Apprentice star Luisa Zissman were among the names who last took part in 2019.
The race, which has raised more than £1.6million for charity, was won that year by Khadijah Mellah.
She made history by becoming the first jockey in Britain to race while wearing a hijab and became the subject of an ITV documentary.
Iconic British designer Bella Freud will design the jockeys’ silks this year.
The race is purely for amateurs but Scarlett and Ella will go into the contest with racing in their blood.
Scarlett, who married Germany captain Reus in 2019, is a keen dressage rider and Instagram influencer.
She has 265,000 followers and regularly posts photos alongsider some of her horses, who go by the names Barry, King and Balti.
Dettori has been in sensational form already this season, landing the 1000 Guineas and Chester Cup.
He will hope Ella can keep it in the family by landing the Magnolia Cup – and raising lots of money for charity.
Goodwood will be from July 27 to 31 this year and is headed by the £1m Qatar Sussex Stakes.
