He ran flat. He was the first horse beaten. He just isn't showing his form at the moment.

More Frankie Dettori on Wikipedia.One of the highlights for me has to be at the beginning with Balanchine who really got us going when she won the Oaks and the Irish Derby.
There are mixed emotions about this because usually I am riding for Sheikh Mohammed in this race, ... I have to thank him for letting me ride. It feels a little peculiar that I won this for the main opposition, but that's the way things have gone this year.
I'm not confident, but his first test was good. It's difficult competition on Saturday.
He will be much better on good ground. He is still very green. It's hard to judge tactics on this ground. I tried to quicken it up all the way round and always felt that if somebody had come at me he'd have found a little bit more.
He could win it and go on why not? He's done nothing wrong. He just lacks experience. He's got to tackle the big boys sooner or later, so Saturday should be a good test for him.
He's having his first run for us and it will also be his first run on the dirt. It will be interesting to see how he will do.
It's unbelievable. We started off with just four horses and now we have a worldwide operation. I am just a small piece of the jigsaw puzzle.
It's a fantastic achievement for an operation that started off with just four horses and now has horses all over the world.
