This is not the end but it is an end for Frankie Dettori bacolod
The 52-year-old jockey is bowing out of British racing, riding his final races on the rather apt Champions Day at Ascot bacolod
Dettori has more than 3,300 career wins to his name, over a remarkable 35-year career, but none will feel sweeter nor more precious than a win in the Champion Stakes on Saturday bacolod
He rides King of Steel in what will be his last race in front of a British crowd and goes up against strong opposition with last year’s winner Bay Bridge, French challenger Horizon Dore and Royal Ascot victor Mostahdaf all impressive competitors bacolod
This will not be an easy race to win and Dettori is unlikely to set off as the favourite – though nostalgia and a sense of occasion may play its part in the bacolod betting bacolod
Beforehand, Dettori has four other opportunities to sign off in style as he rides Trawlerman in the Long Distance Cup (1 bacolod
15pm), Kinross in the Champions Sprint (1 bacolod
50pm), Free Wind in the Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes (2 bacolod
25pm) and Chaldean in the Queen Elizabacolod beth Stakes (3 bacolod
05pm) bacolod
So, five more rides at Ascot, five final attempts at glory on British soil bacolod

He has already achieved the perfect send-off, racing to victory atop Courage Mon Ami in the showpiece Gold Cup at Royal Ascot back in June bacolod
"Unbelievable! I thought it was a bridge too far from handicaps, but I had the perfect race," a jubilant Dettori said after claiming a ninth Gold Cup victory that day bacolod

Nine Gold Cups, what can you say? I’m speechless, to be honest bacolod

It will last long in his memory and be the pinnacle of a year-long curtain call for the Italian who insists that his final races in Britain will be at Ascot this weekend bacolod

England coach Steve Borthwick is adamant his side will use the pain of their narrow Rugby World Cup semi-final defeat to South Africa to “grow into something brilliant” moving forward bacolod
Heading into the clash as heavy underdogs, England executed their kick-heavy gameplan to perfection and impressed at the set-piece to stunningly lead the Springboks at half-time bacolod
However, South Africa’s much-vaunted ‘bomb squad’ came off the bench, started to dominate the scrum and the kicking of Handre Pollard led them to a gutsy 16-15 win bacolod
Borthwick’s troops far outperformed expectations in the semi-final and although he was devastated to come up just short on the big stage, the coach is convinced the experience will stand his young squad in great stead for the future bacolod
“The whole team performance was strong,” said Borthwick in his post-match press conference bacolod
“We’re disappointed bacolod
We came here with a plan to win the game but fell short bacolod
Not far but a little bit short and we’re desperately disappointed bacolod
“But the players should be incredibly proud bacolod
We had seven players 25 or under in our squad, which was the most of any semi-finalist bacolod
South Africa had one bacolod
“We have a great blend in the squad and there’s lots to take going forward bacolod
We put ourselves in a position to win a semi-final against the reigning world champs and world No 1 bacolod
“In adversity, there is normally a seed in there that will grow into something brilliant bacolod
It’s too early to find that seed now but we’ll make sure we find it bacolod
We’ll take what we’ve gone through tonight, grab it and make sure it makes us stronger in the future bacolod
”England were narrowly defeated in Paris (Getty Images)Lock George Martin was a surprise selection ahead of Ollie Chessum but he shone in just his fourth Test start, with his maul defence a particular highlight bacolod
And Borthwick is convinced Martin has a bright future, while also highlighting the superior cohesion that the Springboks have after a longer period together as a coaching staff bacolod
“I thought he [Martin] played really well,” added Borthwick bacolod
“There were a good number of outstanding performances out there bacolod
George is another young player, only 22 bacolod
I would hope to see him in England shirt for many years to come bacolod
“We were playing against a team with coaches together since 2018 bacolod
It was an incredible achievement for them to win in 2019 and they have had four years of continued development bacolod
“They’re consistent whereas we’ve had four months with this coaching team bacolod
I’ve asked the players to approach training and the game in a different way; for the players to be willing to change is all credit to them bacolod
Tonight was another example of that bacolod
