Enable is the hot favourite for Saturday’s King Gorge after the final declaration stage when all 11 entries stood their ground
Frankie Dettori has been taking an average of nine mounts per week in Britain since the start of May, but he is enjoying one of his most successful seasons in more than three decades in the saddle and will hope to move even further clear of his weighing-room rivals in terms of winnings this season when he rides Enable in the King George at Ascot on Saturday.
Dettori has had just 104 rides in the current Flat jockeys’ championship, fewer than any other rider in the top 50. His strike-rate, though, is exceptional at 26% and he has registered eight Group One wins already, equalling his final total in each of the last two seasons. His mounts have won more than £3m in Britain alone, almost £400k more than those of Ryan Moore, who is next in the list. James Doyle, in third, has just won just over £1.5m.
