Frankie Confirmed for Ruler Ride

FRANKIE CONFIRMED FOR RULER RIDE 
Al Shaqab Racing's retained rider Frankie Dettori, who rode Ruler of the World (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) to a front-running victory in the G2 Prix Foy at Longchamp Sept. 14, will be aboard that 4-year-old in Sunday's G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, Dettori's agent Ray Cochrane confirmed yesterday. 
“Frankie told me this afternoon he's riding the horse, and hopefully he'll have plenty more rides through the day,” Cochrane said. 
The Prix Foy, a key prep for the Arc, was just the second start of the year for Ruler of the World after he finished 13th in the G1 Dubai World Cup Mar. 29. The Al Shaqab, Magnier, Tabor and Smith-owned colt, who is trained by Aidan O'Brien, had last visited the winner's circle in last year's G1 Investec Derby. He is 16-1 for the Arc.
