Quote:
Aidan O'Brien has spoken of his delight at having Frankie Dettori on board Camelot in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp tomorrow.
The ever-popular Italian, who will be riding in his 25th consecutive Arc and has won the great race three times, has come in for the mount with O'Brien's son, Joseph, unable to do the weight of 8st 11lb.
O'Brien junior instead rides stablemate St Nicholas Abbey.
Reporting Camelot in "good form" since his second place in the Ladbrokes St Leger that denied him the Triple Crown, O'Brien said: "Frankie is a great rider, he has all the experience in the world, and we're delighted to have him."
