Frankie Dettori rode Mother Earth – second-string behind Aiden O’Brien’s Santa Barbara – to a length victory ahead of Saffron Beach and Fev Rover, in the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket on May 2.
“Come on, me! I’m super-excited to win that,” said Dettori, who has ridden more than 250 Group 1 winners.
“I didn’t have the pressure of riding the favourite and I had a very willing partner with a filly that I knew was going to give me everything,” he said.
“Mother Earth is a very good filly, always was. It was unfair to Santa Barbara (fourth) to come, but we had to come, with a view to coming back to the Oaks. She had to run – she’s only a baby,” reasoned O’Brien.
