DETTORI GRABS FIRST EBOR PRIZE.

Quote:
Frankie Dettori rode his first winner of the Betfred Ebor as Willing Foe came out on top in a pulsating finish to Europe's most valuable handicap at York.

Having finished third on his seasonal reappearance at Ascot last month, the Godolphin runner was a 12-1 chance for this prestigious one-mile-six-furlong test and Dettori made sure his mount was never too far off the pace in mid-division.

He came to throw down his challenge in the home straight and though Irish raider Royal Diamond looked a serious threat as they flashed by the furlong marker, Willing Foe gave Dettori everything to pass the post a neck in front.
