Revenge for Frankie Dettori? Emily Upjohn smashed into 1-2 for Irish Oaks
FRANKIE DETTORI is odds-on to get revenge for his Oaks disappointment with Emily Upjohn in the Irish equivalent.
The legendary Italian jockey, 51, stumbled out the stalls in the Epsom blockbuster last month.
Emily Upjohn, a three-year-old filly, went down a short-head to the Aidan O’Brien-trained Tuesday.
That horse subsequently flopped in the Irish Derby as Westover – third in the Epsom Derby – thrashed the field.
Tuesday was left in the field for this Saturday’s Irish Oaks at the latest forfeit stage.
But even if she does run, the John and Thady Gosden-trained Emily Upjohn will be coming in much fresher having rested since Epsom.
Tuesday is the 4-1 joint-second favourite but Emily Upjohn, co-owned by Andrew Lloyd Webber, is the huge 1-2 favourite.
Dettori was confirmed as the rider for Emily Upjohn after his ‘sabbatical’ with the Gosdens ended after just 11 days.

The jockey came back with a bang at Newmarket last week when he won on Mighty Ulysses.
But he suffered a shocker on the previously unbeaten Inspiral in the Falmouth.
Sent off the giant 1-7 favourite, the Gosden runner finished second to 16-1 Prosperous Voyage.
This time, Gosden didn’t slam Dettori for the ride but was still flummoxed as to what went wrong.
He said: “I just thought she ran a little flat. The ground has quickened up and I’d agree with that, but I think it’s more the turnaround.
“Normally you wouldn’t go from a huge performance at Ascot to coming here, but having run once it made sense.
“You could tell early on that she was a little bit flat. We’ll freshen her up and away we go again, she seems happy enough.”
