Default A horrible beat

Frankie makes a right turn on Swain in '98.

Dettori pulled his partner to the outside and a surge developed which had a winning inevitability about it. Then, the Italian's compusure melted. He beat out an awful rhythm on Swain's backside, rapid flaying with his left hand which sent the resentful old horse scurrying towards the stands. By the time Swain straightened, Silver Charm had gained an advantage and then Awesome Again, trained by Essex-born Pat Byrne, arrived with the definitve effort. Swain was beaten three-quarters of a length and a neck, a distance which in no way represented the margin his meanderings had cost.
