Jockey Frankie Dettori secured his 3,000th British winner when Predilection claimed victory at Newmarket on Friday evening.

The popular Italian rider reached the notable landmark with a half-length defeat of Palmerston in the James Hardie Cladding At U Plastics Handicap over a mile.
Dettori had earlier moved on to the 2,999-winner mark when Ghayyar landed the NGK Spark Plugs EBF Stallions Maiden – a race won in 2010 by the mighty Frankel.
Predilection, a 7-2 chance, made all of the running en route to victory as Dettori raised aloft his right arm when he crossed the line.
The 45-year-old then treated enthusiastic racegoers at his local track to his trademark flying dismount upon entering the winner’s enclosure.
It was a fitting way to have reached the milestone as Predilection is trained by John Gosden, with whom Dettori has enjoyed such a profitable alliance in recent seasons – most significantly with last year’s Derby and Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner Golden Horn.
