Star jockey Frankie Dettori's chances of an eighth win in the meeting's most historic race - the Ascot Gold Cup - and guiding Stradivarius to a third successive victory have been boosted considerably, with trainer Aidan O'Brien deciding not to send Kew Gardens over from Ireland.
Stradivarius warmed up for tomorrow's Group 1 feature with a respectable third in the Coronation Cup at Newmarket more than a week ago over a much shorter distance than the 4,000m of the Gold Cup. "Stradivarius ticks the boxes," said the 49-year-old Dettori, whose first Gold Cup win was in 1992 on Drum Taps.Should Stradivarius win, do not expect the trademark flying dismount from Dettori.
"I had a couple of winners at Newmarket last weekend and returned to an empty enclosure... it was pretty anti-climactic," he said."So I did not do them there and I don't feel like doing it at Ascot."
