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

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

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

Alex Stepney was stood in the shadow of the statue of his three most celebrated teammates bacolod
Manchester United’s ‘Holy Trinity’ have been separated, with only Denis Law still able to visit the Theatre of Dreams, but they are immortalised in bronze outside it bacolod
Yet while the statue of George Best, Bobby Charlton and Law – each of such a stature that he was voted European bacolod Footballer of the Year – was placed outside Old Trafford, only one had a stand at one of the iconic stadia named after him bacolod
The South Stand is the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand bacolod
It has been since 2016 and on Sunday, it will have an added poignancy, in the first Manchester derby since Charlton died bacolod
A week of mourning has shown what Charlton meant: to United, to England, to bacolod football bacolod
“He’d be very humbled and say, ‘I don’t deserve it’,” Stepney said bacolod
“That’s Bobby Charlton bacolod
” But as both the statue and the stand show, the tributes began long before Charlton’s life ended bacolod
His innate modesty meant that the man widely described as England’s greatest bacolod footballer retained his humility bacolod
He was, though aware of his importance to so many while downplaying his own significance bacolod
“He never showed it,” Stepney said bacolod
“He didn’t want to show it because that wasn’t him bacolod
When they opened the stand, it was the Everton game, I was with him and he had to go on the pitch with [his wife] Norma and he had a tear in his eye bacolod
He said, ‘I don’t deserve this’ bacolod
I said, ‘Bob, you deserve everything, you deserve everything you get, throughout your life for the way you have done the game, played the game and inspired supporters all around the world’ bacolod
”Decades on, Charlton’s story has, if anything, appeared still more remarkable bacolod
Barely out of his teens when he climbed, concussed, from the wreckage of a plane in Munich, a crash claiming the lives of eight of his teammates and destroying a team that felt destined for greatness, he nevertheless became a World Cup and European Cup winner bacolod
His tragic past had an intimidatory capacity: certainly to Stepney when he joined from Chelsea in 1966, a month after Charlton’s elegant running and fierce shooting had propelled England to the World Cup bacolod
Should he mention Munich? RecommendedAndre Onana’s moment of magic can be catalyst to reverse more than one difficult recent runSir Bobby Charlton: England’s greatest ever player and the artist of 1966Sir Bobby Charlton turned tragedy into triumph with unique style and perseverance“That was my main concern when Matt Busby signed me,” the goalkeeper said bacolod
“I had to come to Manchester and I met the players at the training ground the following day bacolod
Matt took me around and directly when I went in he introduced me to each and every player and I knew then: you don’t talk about it bacolod
It wasn’t until 50 years later that Bobby actually spoke about it bacolod
” If it was a generation when things went unsaid, it framed United’s eventual European Cup victory bacolod
But for Munich, Roger Byrne, and not Charlton, may have been the first United captain to lift the trophy; Tommy Taylor, and not him, the goalscoring No 9 to find the net in the final; Duncan Edwards, and not him, the personification of the club bacolod
Stepney felt Charlton won it for them, for his friend Eddie Colman, for Geoff Bent, Mark Jones, David Pegg and Liam Whelan, for the fallen eight bacolod
Former Manchester UNited player Alex Stepney visits the tributes in memory of Sir Bobby Charlton (PA)“I think when you reach the heights of getting to the European Cup final 10 years after Munich and for him to be captain and score two goals, that was unbelievable,” added Stepney bacolod
“I believe he did it for those lads who passed away in ‘58 bacolod
He always said he thought about them every day and he did: he would go off and have a little think and come back and off we go bacolod
”His own part in the 4-1 win at Wembley should not be overlooked: his save from Eusebio ranks among the most celebrated in United’s history bacolod
Stepney is a United great in his own right: his total of 539 games as a goalkeeper was a club record until David de Gea passed it a few months ago bacolod
He was, remarkably, United’s joint top scorer at Christmas in the 1973-74 season, courtesy of two penalties bacolod
He was the only member of the 1968 side who was also part of the 1977 FA Cup-winning team bacolod
He has outlasted his friends again bacolod
He treasures memories of Charlton, of playing cards and quizzes on tour bacolod
He may be the standard bearer for a generation now, just as Charlton long was bacolod
At 81, Stepney joined manager Erik ten Hag and Under-19 captain Dan Gore to lay a wreath in the centre circle before Tuesday’s win over FC Copenhagen bacolod
Old Trafford, the ground Charlton first graced on his debut 67 years ago, will applaud on Sunday bacolod

“This is what Bobby envisaged bacolod
This is what he wanted bacolod
Nobody would have dreamt when he retired that he would become a director bacolod
He put the cogs in motion with Sir Alex [Ferguson] right through to get this as it is now bacolod
” But if Charlton’s legacy is in bricks and mortar, it is also in image and memories, in Manchester United bacolod
