Not one winner at Cheltenham. Plenty of places, but I'm not an each - way type of guy. Hopefully, this favourite comes in for me.

What a fabulous jockey......amazing almost the magnificent 7 again.

Frankie Dettori rides six winners in a row at Santa Anita

Frankie Dettori fell just short of producing an American version of his famous magnificent seven when riding six straight winners on the Santa Anita Derby card.

The Italian memorably won every race at Ascot back in September 1996, on a day which cost British bookmakers an estimated £40million.

Now based across the Atlantic after abandoning plans to retire last year, Dettori looked set to rewrite the record books when rattling off six consecutive victories on Saturday night, including a Santa Anita Oaks triumph.

Sadly, he couldn’t add to his tally from four more rides but it was still a special occasion for the 53-year-old.

He stated: “I adore this place and to be able to say that I won six races on Derby day is beyond my wildest dreams.

I agree, my computer says City of Troy is the favourite but with a 44% chance of winning. As a punt I went for Bellum Justum - my system has it coming 5th and the best e/w option.
