Dettori lands 2000th winner

Frankie Dettori launched one of the most memorable days of his career when Nightfall gave him a 2000th winner in Britain in the Crocker Bulteel Maiden Stakes at Ascot today.

The colourful Italian rarely does anything by half and after Nightfall (4-1) had got up on the line to short-head Moth Ball, he returned to give his adoring fans a victory sign before doing a flying dismount from the Godolphin-owned winner.
