THE winner was called Alllegsnobrain and it was only a selling race, but it was an auspicious occasion for Frankie Dettori yesterday. Six years after his first winner in Britain, the Italian rider completed a fullhouse of victories on each of Britain's 35 Flat racecourses.
The winners' enclosure at Edinburgh had been the last in the country to have kept out Dettori. But the two-length success on Alllegsnobrain in yesterday's fourth race took the jockey to the landmark, 24 hours after reaching his fastest career century at Redcar. His British total is 543.
