Emotion overflows as Frankie Dettori rides 50th Royal Ascot winner

Emotion overflowed for Frankie Dettori as he celebrated another magnificent milestone by clinching a 50th Royal Ascot winner with a last-gasp success aboard Osaila in the Sandringham Handicap.

In what has already been a season to savour for the 44-year-old, having won the Derby aboard Golden Horn before following up just over a week later with Star Of Seville in the French Oaks, the popular Italian again confirmed he is riding at the peak of his powers with a narrow win in the colours of his boss, Sheikh Joaan Al Thani.

The triumph for Dettori comes 15 years after his first taste of victory at the meeting aboard Markofdistinction in the Queen Anne Stakes, and sees him join Lester Piggott (116), Pat Eddery (73) and Willie Carson (56) as those to ride 50 or more Royal Ascot winners.
