Dettori gets the ride on the Japanese colt
|
Frankie Dettori will ride Japanese colt Personal Rush in the Breeders' Cup Classic in Texas on 30 October.
Personal Rush won last month's Group One Derby Grand Prix in Japan by nine lengths in a track record time.
"We believe that Personal Rush is the best three-year-old colt here in Japan," said Taki Murayama, agent for owner Tomiro Fukami.
Personal Rush will be flown to Los Angeles next Thursday and is due in Dallas on 25 October.
The Classic is the most valuable race on Breeders' Cup day.
Runners include last year's winner Pleasantly Perfect, 2003 Kentucky Derby and Preakness hero Funny Cide and this year's Belmont and Travers Stakes winner Birdstone.
Bookmakers in Britain quote Pleasantly Perfect as 9-4 favourite to retain the crown he won at Santa Anita.
