Frankie Dettori said he was “too tired to cry” after his love affair with Royal Ascot reached its end on Saturday.
The 52-year-old jockey rode at the world-famous meeting for the final time as he is set to retire at the end of the year.
After a bumpy first day in which he rode three seconds and was punished with a nine-day riding ban, which he is to appeal, he finished the meeting with four victories including a ninth Gold Cup success.
