2,000 Ascot Wins for Dettori

Italian jockey and Godolphin star rider Frankie Dettori scored his 2,000th win in Britain at Ascot, the same course at which he rode seven wins on seven mounts in September 1996, on Sunday. “When the redevelopment of Ascot Racecourse is finished, they might as well go ahead and rename it Dettori Downs.” (International Herald Tribune)
