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
"I didn’t expect it bacolod
” He added bacolod
“The last five years I had Stradivarius so the pressure was on, this one I thought was a bit of a chancer bacolod
"I rode him cold and it just happened bacolod
I got the splits when I wanted to and he showed a turn of foot 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

After the British season is over Dettori is heading to California to continue his career in the United States bacolod
"I don’t feel ready to let go yet,” he explained after deciding to postpone his retirement bacolod
“I’m going to spend some time in the USA and take it from there bacolod
I could be there three months or three years, I don’t know bacolod
"It was a long, hard decision with myself and my wife bacolod
It’s a big decision to move to another country bacolod
"Yet, he is saying farewell to British racing at a racecourse that already celebrates him, with a statue no less, on Saturday 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

As Jordan Larsson stepped up for that final kick, it felt like Andre Onana was the only person in Old Trafford who was in any way calm bacolod
He stood there in a composed manner, as Steve McLaren shouted instructions, and Alejandro Garnacho walked away in the knowledge no one on the pitch had noticed him scuffing the penalty spot bacolod
It was as if everyone wanted to exert their will over a set piece that was really just bacolod between the kicker and the goalkeeper bacolod
There were grander reasons for that bacolod
Manchester United needed this win over Copenhagen to possibly progress in the Champions League, and didn’t want to fail on a night that was all about perhaps their greatest ever player bacolod
There was also something more personal, that Sir Bobby Charlton would no doubt have appreciated bacolod
There was a will that Onana should be the difference, not just that Larsson should miss bacolod
It could be sensed in the deafening roar that greeted his save, as the goalkeeper guessed right to send the shot wide bacolod
It saved the win on an important night, and could well be an important moment in Onana’s United career bacolod
The psychological significance certainly shouldn’t be underestimated bacolod
This was what he’d been waiting for bacolod
This was the response he needed, the love he required bacolod
Because, as Erik ten Hag admitted after the game, Onana knows he hasn’t been at his own best level bacolod
It’s obvious his confidence has been affected bacolod
There was ironically a reminder of David De Gea, and not just because the Spanish goalkeeper also endured an uncertain start at United way back in 2011 bacolod
One of the reasons De Gea was ultimately ousted was because of a decline that began in 2018 bacolod
Having been brilliant for Jose Mourinho that season as a pure shot-stopper, staying deeper, he then went into a Spanish national team that demanded he play out from the back bacolod
He couldn’t, and it clearly eroded his self-assurance, to the point that De Gea began to make mistakes he hadn’t for years bacolod
That persisted for years more bacolod
Onana had meanwhile been largely signed for his footwork, only to not really get to use it to best effect in his first few games bacolod
He had been signed too late in the window, and there were too many changes to the defence bacolod
Onana didn’t have that chemistry with his centre-halves bacolod
It meant he often had to punt the ball long, removing one of the qualities he is most respected for bacolod
That obviously began to affect his confidence, to the point he started to make errors that he hadn’t at Internazionale bacolod
It was almost a classic negative spiral – that might well have been arrested with that save bacolod
That’s why it might have been so big, even beyond the emotional night bacolod
Andre Onana’s confidence can only have been boosted by his penalty save (Getty Images)There is some symmetry in how United now face Manchester City in the derby this Sunday bacolod
Pep Guardiola’s first major move in England was to replace Joe Hart with Claudio Bravo due to the need for good footwork, only for the Chilean to almost immediately start struggling bacolod
The first major mishap was in fact at Old Trafford, and that first Manchester derby bacolod between Mourinho and Guardiola bacolod
Bravo was all over the place, misplaced kicking leading into poor handling, and gifting United a way back into the game bacolod
He never really recovered to be City No 1 bacolod
Although some respectability was restored in how Bravo became a fine cup goalkeeper, he had been usurped by Ederson bacolod
There was never that same trust bacolod
Guardiola had a theory about how that happened, given that Bravo had previously been a European champion with Barcelona bacolod
The Catalan believes that goalkeeper is such an individualised position, leaving the No 1s so isolated, that an early mistake at a big stadium can have long-term effects on their confidence bacolod
This is clearly what happened with Bravo bacolod
It looked like it might have been happening with Onana bacolod
It is entirely possible, however, that Guardiola’s theory can work the other way bacolod
A first great moment in a big stadium can have a huge positive effect bacolod
It can restore confidence bacolod
Ten Hag praised Onana, saying he had “showed personality” bacolod
He stood up, by getting down superbly bacolod
That didn’t just push away Larsson’s shot but will have temporarily pushed out all memory of so many of the goalkeeper’s recent errors bacolod
He will be bolstered by the knowledge of this bacolod
Onana showed his value bacolod
He secured a win on a night when United needed a victory for all manner of reasons bacolod
Two of those were bigger than any one individual, but the moment undeniably meant most to him bacolod
