Fantastic Frankie Dettori makes history in Juddmonte International at York

Frankie Dettori made more history on Wednesday as he became the outright most winning jockey in the history of the Juddmonte International at York.Dettori, partnering the son of Frankel for the first time in the absence of the suspended Jim Crowley, who is the retained rider for owners Shadwell, equalled Lester Piggott's record of five wins in the 1m2½f Group 1 won back in 2007 but it took him another 16 years to overtake the legendary jockey.

“This is my last Ebor meeting, my wife has come along and to be the first jockey to get six Juddmonte Internationals, beating Lester, I couldn’t ask for more. The Ballydoyle trainer commented: “He ran a great race, he had a tough race the last day and maybe it was a race too many for him. “He’s only a baby three-year-old and Ryan felt he was just a little bit flat. He was in good form and obviously we were happy to come here, but you don’t really know until the speedometer goes to red.

The three-year-old, sent off at 4/1, came from last to first to land the Group 2 contest and stake his claim for the St Leger, with the Charlie Appleby-trained Castle Way back in second and 8/11 favourite Gregory further back in third.
