Set to return at Leicester on Monday. I find it utterly ridiculous though that Leicester are naming a race after him in honour of his return. Has it escaped their notice that he's actually returning from a drugs ban?

it's beyond ridiculous!
 
Send the course an email then - if no-one complains they will think there is nothing wrong in it.
 
There hasn't been a race, since the decs, named after him according to Sporting Life & Racingpost.

Attheraces:

"Whether the three-times champion jockey rides at Leicester or not, there will be no race named in his honour after plans for a contest commemorating the occasion were vetoed by the BHA.

The BHA tweeted: "Confirmation that a race title at Leicester on Mon 20th May remains 'British Stallion Studs Supporting British Racing EBF Maiden Stakes'. The proposed title of 'EBF Welcome Back Frankie Maiden Stakes' was never authorised by BHA & was not deemed appropriate.""
