There will be an added attraction to the Listowel Harvest Festival this year with racecourse chairman Pat Healy revealing that Frankie Dettori will ride at the meeting.
Dettori, who rode at Killarney in 2019 and Tralee in 1998 before that racecourse was later closed, will be completing a Kerry treble next month and is due to ride on Tuesday, September 20.
The seven-day Listowel Harvest Festival runs from Sunday, September 18 to Saturday, September 24 and Healy announced news of the coup on Wednesday.
He said, “We can't wait to have Frankie ride on day three of our Harvest Festival. It will be a real treat for racegoers to see such a racing legend in the flesh. Frankie has had great luck riding in Ireland so hopefully, he can ride a few winners and racegoers can enjoy his famous flying dismounts in the Listowel winners' enclosure.”
