Frankie back at Turffontein..

Frankie Dettori, Mick Kinane, Darryll Holland and Christophe Soumillon have been invited to take part in an international jockeys' match against the South Africans at Turffontein in Johannesburg on November 21.

All four were part of the visiting team that were beaten by the South African jockeys in a similar match last November.

This time Ryan Moore and Jamie Spencer have also been invited.

Racing Association chairman Larry Wainstein said on Monday: "Frankie, Ryan and Christophe have already said that they would love to come. Christophe has a broken elbow but he feels he will be fit in time.

"We were originally thinking in terms of a British Lions team but that proved to be difficult so we decided on a European team."

Lastyear's match, the first in South Africa for 20 years, proved a big hit with the public and attracted a big crowd to Turffontein as well as a lot of publicity for racing.

It was organised by racecourse owner Phumelela but this time theRacing Association has assumed responsibility. The date is a week earlier to avoid a clash with the Summer Cup.

Wainstein added: "We are trying to make the jockeys match into a big day on its own. It has legs and so we feel it can do this."
