Frankie Dettori produced a brilliant front-running ride aboard Mostahdaf as he lowered the colours of Paddington in a thrilling edition of the 2023 £1 million Juddmonte International Stakes at York.
Deputising for the suspended Jim Crowley aboard John and Thady Gosden’s Royal Ascot scorer, Dettori wasted little time in bouncing the 3-1 second favourite out of the stalls and quickly into stride.
The Italian set perfect fractions as the Shadwell-owned five-year-old made every yard of the running to record a length success over stable companion Nashwa who gave Hollie Doyle a dream spin.
Although Ryan Moore received the desired response when asking Paddington to close the gap in the home straight, he ultimately had no answer to Mostahdaf who kept finding extra under an ultra-confident Dettori as he registered a length success and followed up the owner’s victory in the Group One contest with the imperious Baaeed 12 months ago.
Aidan O'Brien lamented the fact that he maybe he had pulled "the elastic band too long" with Paddington having his seventh race in the space of five months.
