- Jamie Spencer rides outsider to victory in Jubilee Stakes
- ‘I’m going on holiday with Frankie tomorrow’
Frankie Dettori started his final day as a rider at Royal Ascot as a passenger in the royal procession – the first active jockey to be granted such a privilege – and trying hard to stick to protocol and not wave to the grandstands.
A much-anticipated run at an eighth jockeys’ title at the meeting never really threatened to materialise, however, and having drawn a blank from his final five rides, the jockey who is second only to Lester Piggott in the Royal Ascot record books bowed out with 81 victories in all.
