• Dettori and favourite Lord North win Cambridgeshire
Earthlight proved himself a star but the keenly anticipated Middle Park Stakes did not provide the hoped-for battle, one of the key runners, Siskin, having been backed out of the stalls about a second before they opened. There might have been a feeling of deflation had it not been for the bit of vaudeville put on by Frankie Dettori half an hour later as he won the Cambridgeshire on the heavily backed Lord North.
It has been a poor year for French racing, with most of its major trophies being boxed up for export over the summer. But the unbeaten Earthlight, trained in Chantilly by André Fabre, is a genuine star and broke the juvenile course record that had been set in the previous race.
