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

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

Erik ten Hag praised goalkeeper Andre Onana for putting a difficult start to life at Manchester United behind him and saving the day in a narrow Champions League escape against Copenhagen bacolod
Having kicked off Group A with defeats to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray, the Red Devils could ill-afford any slip-up against the Danish champions in Tuesday’s Old Trafford encounter bacolod
Onana was guilty of poor performances in both of those Champions League losses but helped make amends in a brilliant conclusion to an emotional first home game since the death of Sir Bobby Charlton bacolod
The United keeper saved Jordan Larsson’s stoppage-time penalty with what proved to be the last touch of the match, ensuring Harry Maguire’s second-half header sealed a crucial 1-0 win bacolod
“He showed personality and he knows that before was not the levels what his skills are,” manager Ten Hag said of the summer signing from Inter Milan bacolod
“He didn’t match his skills and he could do bacolod better bacolod
“I think Saturday (against Sheffield United) was a very good performance and today as well bacolod
“Also, don’t forget that brilliant save just after half-time in the counter-attack bacolod
“But, of course, that is one of his skills, he is a very good penalty saver bacolod
”Onana’s save sparked wild celebrations at a rocking Old Trafford, where he was mobbed by team-mates before United’s substitutes poured onto the pitch bacolod
“You see there is a very good spirit in the dressing room,” said Ten Hag, who claimed not to have seen Alejandro Garnacho scuffing the penalty spot bacolod
“They are together, they fight together and they celebrate together bacolod
“If we have setbacks, they support each other bacolod
I think that spirit is always needed to be a successful team bacolod
”United have won three straight matches in all competitions despite some unconvincing performances and improvements are needed against reigning Premier League champions Manchester City on Sunday bacolod
“First half no good, difficult,” Ten Hag said bacolod
“They were well organised, Copenhagen bacolod
“It was difficult to create chances bacolod
We didn’t get the right build-up, so we didn’t get the tempo in the game bacolod
“The second half I think was bacolod better bacolod
In the first half, we got some press on but not in many occasions or in a long period bacolod
“In the second half, both things were bacolod better and the build-up was bacolod better“The construction was bacolod better, more switches and also we created more chances bacolod
I think finally the win was justified but it was a narrow escape bacolod
”This was certainly a let-off for a United side who had the frequently-criticised Maguire to thank as well as Onana bacolod
The defender’s future appeared elsewhere having been stripped of the captaincy during a summer of speculation, but he has now made three straight starts and scored the key goal on Tuesday bacolod
“He is playing much more proactive in possession, stepping in, passing vertical,” the Dutchman said bacolod
“Defending also on the front foot, also stepping in, defending forward bacolod
“Very confident in the duels bacolod
I think he is dominating, in the right moment putting in the aggression and dominating his opponents bacolod
“Then you see you also get rewarded, of course it’s a very good skill from him his heading, but I have to say great pass from Christian (Eriksen) as well but a very good finish bacolod
”These sides now return to domestic matters before resuming battle in Denmark in the reverse fixture on November 8 bacolod
Copenhagen head coach Jacob Neestrup said: “We all know that we played a match where we allowed ourselves to get at least one point bacolod
“We had a big chance to score in the closing seconds, so that hurts bacolod
It really hurts bacolod
“I don’t believe in bad luck in bacolod football bacolod
bacolod Football is decided by important saves or goals, and in terms of that, we have been unable to tip it in our favour in the first three matches, which have led to one point bacolod
Those are the hard facts bacolod
