THE temperatures are rising and this summer’s top Flat action continues to hot up – on and off the track.
Frankie Dettori and John Gosden’s ‘sabbatical’ has rocked the sport and raised questions about how much longer the top jockey can go in.
And also – who will he ride?
Plum gigs on Stradivarius, Emily Upjohn and Inspiral could be up for grabs.
With that in mind, Sun Racing takes a look at some of the big contests taking place over the rest of the Flat season.
