Frankie Dettori is set to miss the Saturday of next month's Breeders' Cup meeting after picking up a seven-day suspension for careless riding at Newbury.
The popular Italian was partnering Saeed bin Suroor's Willing Foe in the totescoop6 HBLB Handicap, where he was ruled to have hampered Right Step with a couple of furlongs to go.
The latter's jockey, Harry Bentley, ended up on the floor but emerged from the incident unscathed.
Dettori, however, did not, with the stewards finding he had made a manoeuvre to his right when not sufficiently clear, and suspending him on November 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 and 15, meaning he will miss the showpiece second day of the Churchill Downs fixture.
Dettori had been rerouted to Newbury when Encke, his intended mount in Doncaster's Racing Post Trophy, was declared a non-runner and his day at the Berkshire venue had started more brightly.
Dettori was aboard Pimpernel who did just what was expected of her when impressing in the totepool Stakes.
The popular Italian cut a confident figure throughout the seven-furlong contest and only had to push the even money favourite out hands and heels at the finish to score by a length and three-quarters.
