THE Ebor was all about one Man as Frankie Dettori produced a masterclass to steal the show.
The Italian somehow fought back on Trawlerman to snatch a brilliant victory from Alfred Boucher in a thrilling photo finish in what will go down as one of legend’s best ever rides.
It was the Frankie Dettori show at York as he took both the big races
Frankie treated the York punters to a trademark flying dismount after his win on Trawlerman
From a horror draw in the car park, Frankie took the Golden Horn route and kept Trawlerman wide for the entire back straight before swooping to the front on the long turn in.
Ten lengths clear, he was able to get a breather in but it looked like he would be gobbled up in the long straight.
Even after he was swamped by Earl Of Tyrone and the runner-up three furlongs out, Frankie managed to find more from Trawlerman.
He timed his finishing dash to perfection to deny brave Alfred Boucher a famous double after Ian Williams’ horse struck earlier in the week.
