Dettori second in two feature races on opening afternoonHollie Doyle first female Group One winning-jockey at meeting
Frankie Dettori had a frustrating first day at his final Royal Ascot, finishing runner-up in two races with Chaldean beaten comprehensively by Paddington in the St James’s Palace Stakes and Inspiral narrowly beaten in the opening Queen Anne.
Ryan Moore, victorious on Paddington, said: “He started well and I lost my place going into the bend. But then he took me there [in the home straight], going easy and then he found plenty. He’s a very good colt – he’s improving the whole time and has a big engine.”
