Farewell to Frankie
Frankie Dettori did not sound like a man who will be riding at Royal Ascot next year in his ITV interview after his last ride today, despite all the speculation about whether he’s actually going to quit at the end of the year as he has promised. So it’s time to say goodbye and thanks to a jockey who has dominated this racecourse and so many headlines since his incredible seven-timer at the track in 1996. We won’t see the likes of him again.

This year's leading rider at #RoyalAscot gives Dawn Rising a peach to win the Queen Alexandra for @JosephOBrien2 and JP McManus! @Ascot pic.twitter.com/0lyGmATyJO
