Frankie cuts gap at top to five with fabulous four-timer

GODOLPHIN and Frankie Dettori dominated the opening afternoon of the St Leger meeting at Doncaster with a fabulous 179-1 four-timer.

The winners were Swan Nebula (5-1), Echoes In Eternity (5-1), Librettist (evens) and Monsoon Rain (6-4), and as a result Dettori now trails Kieren Fallon by five (140-145) in the title race after the reigning champion had just one winner (Mr Velocity) at Epsom.

Ladbrokes go 4-9 Fallon and 7-4 Dettori in the betting for the jockeys’ championship.
