Dettori and Colour Vision take Gold Cup at Ascot

Colour Vision and Frankie Dettori survived a stewards’ inquiry as they held off fellow Godolphin runner Opinion Poll to take top honours in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot.

The Italian rider had to choose between the pair earlier this week and many saw it as a surprise when he sided with Saeed bin Suroor’s Colour Vision over the more established Opinion Poll.
