Authorized wins Racing Post Trophy at Newbury

Authorized has won the Racing Post Trophy at Newbury in the final Group One race of the season in Britain.

The horse, trained by Peter Chapple-Hyam, was ridden by Frankie Dettori.

Petara Bay and Charlie Farnsbarns were still in it three furlongs from the end, but Authorized held off to seal victory.

Speaking to Channel 4 News, Frankie Detorri said: "I must say I have to thank the owner as I tried to put him off running the horse as mentally I didn't think the horse was ready for this kind of field.

"We knew he had the talent and the race went very smoothly. He won like a good horse.

"When you press the button you hope they can carry on. He sure did and what a true professional he is.

"Peter asked me to ride him work and he gave me a wonderful feel. He had a lot of faith in him and he has been proved right today."
