Dante Festival Wednesday 11th May 2016

The opening day of the 2016 season at York kicked off in fine style with Frankie Dettori claiming a treble of winners, including The Duke of York Clipper Stakes, and The Tattersalls Musidora. He duly entertained onlookers with three of his trademark flying dismounts. The Duke of York himself made the presentations for his race and with Camilla Parker Bowles present the racecourse was treated to a proper Royal day of racing.
