Frankie Dettori marked his final day of racing at York with a stunning double on the final day of the Ebor Festival.

First, Dettori guided Kinross to victory in the City Of York Stakes for the second season in a row. Frankie then won his third and final Ebor aboard Willie Mullins' Absurde, who could now join stablemate Vauban on the plane to Australia for the Melbourne Cup.

Spirit Dancer took advantage of a shocking run from Nostrum to land the Strensall Stakes. Oisin Murphy then rode Middle Earth to victory in the Melrose Handicap, after which John Gosden said the winner could be supplemented for the St Leger.

There was a thrilling finish to the final ITV race of the meeting, as Summerghand and Albasheer dead-heated in the Constantine Handicap.

William Buick rode Inquisitively to victory in the Julia Graves Roses Stakes for Kevin Philippart De Foy. The Champion Jockey completed a late double in the final race of the 2023 Ebor Festival, as Astro King won the Finale Handicap.
