THE Arc ride by Frankie Dettori on Golden Horn divided opinion. Most sided with the ‘inspired’ bit of riding after he had raced wide, even wider than his draw, for the first two furlongs and gradually moved across to slot in near the front of the field. A few however, pondered what all the fuss was about.

On reflection, all comments and judgements should be made with ‘after the fact’ knowledge. Dettori’s decision was made before the race, at the time when we, and Treve’s connections, still thought she was invincible.
