Frankie Dettori now just two shy of 3,000th winner

Frankie Dettori moved to within two winners of his 3,000th success in Britain as Hollywood Road prevailed close home in the Tamdown Handicap at Newmarket.

The Don Cantillon-trained 11-4 favourite threw down a strong challenge to hit the front around a furlong out and while it looked like he might go on to win well, in the end he had to dig deep before getting the verdict by a length and a quarter.

Dettori was in flying dismount mood afterwards and keeping his fingers crossed he hits the landmark at Ascot in the Shergar Cup on Saturday.
