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

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

If this was a glimpse of England’s future then it rather resembles their past bacolod
Steve Borthwick’s squad will leave France with bits of bronze in their pockets, outlasting Argentina in an entertaining affair to decide third spot despite threatening a familiar fourth quarter fade to defeat bacolod
The England players slapped shoulders and shared hugs, happy enough with a World Cup medal of any kind at the end of a long and rigorous tournament bacolod
Perhaps this was always the likeliest summit, a short three steps up on to a rapidly-erected rostrum to collect their decoration and reflect on some progress made bacolod
This was something of a changing of the guard for England, bidding adieu to Ben Youngs, Courtney Lawes and a couple of others marking Test farewells, while also looking at the core coming through to lead Borthwick’s side into the next cycle bacolod
Ben Youngs, England’s most capped male player, has retired from Test rugby (Getty Images)Seven of England’s starting XV here were 25 or under, a young nucleus around which Borthwick will now look to build bacolod
They will head home with bronze medals, a fair enough achievement for a group of players who would have recognised overall triumph was always unlikely, much as they rose to the challenge impressively last weekend bacolod
It was a mixed bag of a performance from England’s next generation, some good, some bad bacolod
Henry Arundell departed after 65 minutes with an almost pristine white shirt as if just back from the dry cleaners, a single carry for 5m, a tackle and a horrible hacked kick his only involvements from a disappointing evening bacolod
His back-three colleague Marcus Smith was busier, producing a performance to show both the merits bacolod
For every flick and trick in possession there was a general air of insecurity under the high ball – Smith at 15 most certainly has merit but is best tagged a work in progress bacolod
Hooker Theo Dan exemplified a bitty evening with contrasting involvements in two tries in two second-half minutes bacolod
The young Saracens front rower was cast aside much too easily by Santiago Carreras’s outstanding solo effort but immediately atoned, blocking the Argentina fly half’s kick and scooping up the debris to score himself bacolod
Hooker Theo Dan scored after charging down a kick (Getty Images)It perhaps best illustrated a night that will have left some ambivalent about England’s Test adolescents, hard not to be encouraged by the zip and zing that they may come to offer, but recognising that only really Ben Earl has emerged as something resembling the finished article at this tournament bacolod
Even Freddie Steward looked out of sorts, England’s pillar of stability less valuable on the right wing than in a more central structural role bacolod
The sub-25 group included Tom Curry on the occasion of his 50th cap, a product of his precocity bacolod
After a difficult week off the field, the flanker looked rather glad to be on it, contesting at two of Argentina’s first five breakdowns and winning a holding on penalty at the second of them bacolod
Captain Owen Farrell put England in front bacolod
England had managed to convincingly beat Argentina in their opening game without crossing the try line, but righted that wrong eight minutes in bacolod
A sparky carry from pocket-rocket hooker Dan created momentum, allowing Farrell and Smith to go to work at the line, two swift transfers in-and-out of the hands sending Earl bustling through on a neat angle bacolod
Ben Earl crossed for a try early on (Getty Images)It had been an energetic opening from England, Curry and Sam Underhill back in tandem on the flanks and enjoying one another’s company, the so-called “kamikaze kids” returning for a one-night-only reunion gig and enjoying being back in one another’s company bacolod
Ellis Genge, meanwhile, took out the frustrations of last weekend on anything vaguely in his vicinity, peeling back Argentina tighthead Francisco Gomez Kodela to prevent Argentina building from a scrum 10m from England’s line bacolod
A side that have stuck so rigidly to their gameplan during their time in France were unlikely to wrap ties around their heads and play truant on the last day of term, but there were signs of a bit more freedom bacolod
Farrell at one point right at the forefront of an ambitious, and eventually aborted, adventure out of his own 22, the teacher’s pet showing his classmates the way bacolod
Farrell had brought his kicking boots, even if one drop goal attempt had to be abandoned due to the imminent arrival of an angry Argentine bacolod
A third penalty re-extended England’s 13-point advantage after Emiliano Boffelli had put his side on the board from the tee bacolod
At that point, the many South Americans inside the Stade de France were starting to fear the worst, an error-strewn performance so reminiscent of their meek showing on both the opening and semi-final weekends bacolod
But the Pumas grew into it, with soon-to-be Saracen Juan Martin Gonzalez prominent, at one point making a solo spring to snaffle lineout ball up the front and beat four defenders on a rampage up the right bacolod
The third place play-off was strongly contested (AFP via Getty Images)It was his gambol up the left touchline that led to Argentina’s first try, though it was a surprise that Lucio Cinti’s pass, that was a good few inches forward, to free the blindside did not prompt an intervention from the TMO bacolod
As it was, Gonzalez galloped on, before some lively phase play allowed Tomas Cubelli to dummy his way to the line bacolod
This was the Argentina we had so hoped to see more consistently across the tournament bacolod
Michael Cheika’s side were in front almost immediately after the interval thanks to bit of individual brilliance from fly half Carreras bacolod
There appeared little of promise in front of him as he ambled at the English line, but having rid himself of Dan, Carreras scampered free of Genge, too bacolod
Smith was stepped to complete a sensational solo score under the posts – Argentina’s chief playmaker has not been at his best across the tournament but this was a reminder of the running threat he offers bacolod
Santiago Carreras scored a brilliant individual try (Getty Images)But that sort of ability with ball in hand comes as a compromise, with Carreras still yet to round out his game as a Test 10 bacolod
From the restart after his try, he laboured a little too long over a clearance, allowing Dan to make immediate amends with a charge down bacolod
The hooker was fastest to the loose ball; England were back in front bacolod
It took Arundell until the 48th minute to have his first touch, a single missed tackle his only first-half involvement bacolod
A sliced kick went about 30m up but only five forwards, the error of boot exacerbated by presence of an offside England player in pursuit bacolod
It allowed Boffelli an opportunity to narrow the gap, and the wing took it bacolod
The momentum seemed to be with Argentina but they couldn’t quite make their possession and territory count bacolod
Farrell and replacement Nicolas Sanchez traded penalties to keep the margin at three in England’s favour bacolod
There it remained, Sanchez dragging a penalty from the left touchline wide having been granted an opportunity to level the scores late on bacolod
