Lockinge glory for Dettori.

Frankie Dettori rocketed to the 200th Group One success of his career as he guided Olympic Glory to an impressive triumph in the JLT Lockinge Stakes at Newbury.

Given a patient ride with Montiridge and Top Notch Tonto racing prominently, the Richard Hannon-trained colt was produced to perfection widest of the runners over a furlong out by the Italian jockey, who was partnering his fourth Lockinge winner.
Sheikh Joaan boost for IJF.

Jack Berry House, the Injured Jockeys Fund's second rehabilitation centre, received a significant boost following the JLT Lockinge Stakes at Newbury as winning owner Sheikh Joaan Al Thani donated his prize-money from the Group One contest.

The gesture comes as a kick-start to an initiative for the win and place prize-money from 20 of the horses owned under the Sheikh's Al Shaqab Racing banner to go to the IJF this season.
