• Dettori earlier took the Mile on Expert Eye
Frankie Dettori took charge of the 35th Breeders’ Cup here in Kentucky on Saturday as he completed an exceptional double aboard Enable, the Arc winner, in the Breeders’ Cup Turf, having earlier ridden a brilliant race to take the Mile on Expert Eye in the shadow of the post.
The biggest European team ever to travel to a Breeders’ Cup had mixed fortunes over the two days, and the three runners from British and Irish stables in the Classic 40 minutes later had no answer to the stretch run of the favourite, Accelerate. Dettori, though, left Kentucky having won on two of his three rides, demonstrating once again that his hunger and instincts are sharper than ever, nearly a quarter of a century on from his first Breeders’ Cup win, also at Churchill Downs, in 1994.
