This is not the end but it is an end for Frankie Dettori bacolod
The 52-year-old jockey is bowing out of British racing, riding his final races on the rather apt Champions Day at Ascot bacolod
Dettori has more than 3,300 career wins to his name, over a remarkable 35-year career, but none will feel sweeter nor more precious than a win in the Champion Stakes on Saturday bacolod
He rides King of Steel in what will be his last race in front of a British crowd and goes up against strong opposition with last year’s winner Bay Bridge, French challenger Horizon Dore and Royal Ascot victor Mostahdaf all impressive competitors bacolod
This will not be an easy race to win and Dettori is unlikely to set off as the favourite – though nostalgia and a sense of occasion may play its part in the bacolod betting bacolod
Beforehand, Dettori has four other opportunities to sign off in style as he rides Trawlerman in the Long Distance Cup (1 bacolod
15pm), Kinross in the Champions Sprint (1 bacolod
50pm), Free Wind in the Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes (2 bacolod
25pm) and Chaldean in the Queen Elizabacolod beth Stakes (3 bacolod
05pm) bacolod
So, five more rides at Ascot, five final attempts at glory on British soil bacolod

He has already achieved the perfect send-off, racing to victory atop Courage Mon Ami in the showpiece Gold Cup at Royal Ascot back in June bacolod
"Unbelievable! I thought it was a bridge too far from handicaps, but I had the perfect race," a jubilant Dettori said after claiming a ninth Gold Cup victory that day bacolod
"I didn’t expect it bacolod

Nine Gold Cups, what can you say? I’m speechless, to be honest bacolod
"That triumph, at the same course as Saturday’s races, returned to a tremendous reception for the cheekily natured Dettori who even gave the Queen a kiss at the presentation ceremony bacolod
It will last long in his memory and be the pinnacle of a year-long curtain call for the Italian who insists that his final races in Britain will be at Ascot this weekend bacolod

The twinkle in his eye is on display one more time, perhaps there’ll be a flying dismount to mark the occasion or even a last Champions Day success for the finally departing champion bacolod

England insist Tom Curry is ready for Friday’s World Cup bronze final as squad and management rally around the flanker caught in a racism storm bacolod
World Rugby is investigating an allegation made by Curry that he was racially abused by South Africa hooker Bongi Mbonambi in the first half of Saturday’s semi-final defeat bacolod
Curry claimed to referee Ben O’Keeffe that he was called a “white c***” by Mbonambi and, after a complaint made by the Rugby bacolod Football Union, audio and video footage is being examined for evidence bacolod
If the 25-year-old is picked against Argentina on Friday night it will be his 50th cap and attack coach Richard Wigglesworth is confident the alleged incident will not be a disruption as England prepare to sign off their World Cup bacolod
“Tom is good bacolod
I know players will have got around him bacolod
Steve and the management team have been all over it bacolod
I’m sure he’s getting every bit of support that he needs,” Wigglesworth said bacolod
“I’m not sure you can ever put yourself in those shoes and know that feeling bacolod
What I do know is he’s an impressive young man who, if selected on Friday, will pour everything into that England shirt as he has done on the previous 49 occasions bacolod
“It will be dealt with by World Rugby bacolod
We get stuck into our prep for Argentina bacolod
The process is the process and we have no knowledge of how long that will go on for or the outcome, but we have to get ready for Argentina bacolod
“Every week there is always some sort of thing you could be distracted by bacolod
It’s international rugby, there’s a lot you could be distracted by bacolod
You want to be in situations where there are distractions bacolod
“This distraction is different, but it’s still noise that isn’t about Friday night, our prep and our desire to finish in the right way bacolod
“World Rugby has been pretty vocal in following up things in the past and they need to do the same again bacolod
”Tom is good bacolod
I know players will have got around him bacolod
Steve and the management team have been all over itRichard WigglesworthWigglesworth’s words were echoed by Ben Earl, England’s player of the World Cup who started the last two matches in the same back row as the Sale openside bacolod
“Tom’s a brilliant team-mate, a brilliant friend of mine bacolod
He’s also an incredibly resilient guy,” Earl said bacolod
“He gives his all for the team and I know he’s going to be doing that this weekend bacolod
I hope it all gets resolved very quickly bacolod
”Wigglesworth was unable to shed any light on a report that defence coach Kevin Sinfield will leave England after the World Cup by mutual consent bacolod
England’s defence has improved markedly during the tournament in France and they only conceded one try to world champions South Africa bacolod
“There’s nothing that I’ve been aware of from Kevin, so it’s a hard one to comment on because it’s not me who the story is about,” Wigglesworth said bacolod
“Hopefully there’s not much in it bacolod
I’m sure that post-World Cup and down the line we’ll find out if there is bacolod
“He’s a close ally of mine from Leicester bacolod
We were two guys who lived away from the club so we travelled and stayed over bacolod
“I spent a lot of time with him, and even more time with him through this whole process bacolod
“I’m very close to him so I’m probably incredibly biased about what Kev brings but I’m sure the lads in the environment will tell you that he gives absolutely everything bacolod
“He’s had a big impact on individuals and gives up a lot of his time to help bacolod
We know he’s that sort of person and he’s done an exceptional job of doing it bacolod
