Trawlerman lands Ebor at York under inspired Frankie Dettori ride

Trawlerman claimed the Sky Bet Ebor Handicap at York in a thrilling finish, thanks to another Frankie Dettori masterclass.

The John and Thady Gosden-trained four-year-old had a horror draw in stall 20, yet the Italian had the confidence to stay wide, all on his own, until they turned into the straight.

Evoking memories of Trawlerman's sire, Golden Horn, who stayed wide when landing the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, Dettori kept things simple and while he was passed by Earl Of Tyrone and then Alfred Boucher, his mount rallied in the last 200 yards.

Wednesday’s winner Alfred Boucher made a gallant dash close home and had his head in front two strides from the post, but Trawlerman kept finding to score by a short-head.

Earl Of Tyrone finished a length further back in third, while John Leeper was fourth.

How Tight is that, Trawlerman has just got there in time under a race riding masterclass from Frankie Detori who has a double on the day, Another big winner for trainers John & Thady Gosden and team Godolphin.
