Speaking before racing, Dettori admitted a break was perhaps best for both parties at present, but also confirmed his intention to continue riding until at least the end of next season.
He said: “I haven’t been away, I’ve only been off for five days! I’m really touched by the support though and I didn’t expect that, so it was great.”
The rider received plenty of cheers on his way back to the winner’s enclosure and treated the crowd to one of his trademark flying dismounts on what was his first ride since the end of Royal Ascot. Frankie Dettori gets the biggest cheer of the day and produces a flying dismount after victory aboard Lezoo in the Empress Fillies' Stakes at Newmarket. Speculation about their alliance was rife after Dettori’s name appeared alongside the Ralph Beckett-trained filly in the Maureen Brittain Memorial Empress Fillies’ Stakes, but not the Gosden-trained horses on the same card, with the partnership now officially paused for the immediate future.ĭettori did not let the off-course drama impact his racetrack performance though, as he delivered Lezoo with a perfectly-timed challenge to win going away by a length and three-quarters. The 51-year-old was taking his first mount since long-standing associate John Gosden, who trains in partnership with son Thady, announced on Friday evening that the pair had agreed to take a “sabbatical” from their working relationship.

She was then sent off the 2-1 favourite for the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot, finishing strongly behind the winner Meditate to prove best of the home contingent. The daughter of Exceed And Excel made a taking impression on debut when coming home the best part of five-lengths clear of George Boughey’s subsequent scorer Believing on the Rowley Mile.
Saeed bin Suroor’s promising youngster Mawj has the chance to get back to winning ways as she lines up in a red-hot renewal of the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket on Friday.
