Frankie Dettori on Sixties Icon wins the BCG Stakes

The Italian's hat-trick included victory on hot favourite Iffraaj in the day's big race, the �150,000 Betfair Cup (also known as the Lennox Stakes).

He also steered Sixties Icon to an impressive win in the day's other feature contest, the BCG (Gordon) Stakes and took the penultimate race of the day on board Chataway.

Sixties Icon is now a general favourite for next month's St Leger, the final Classic of the British season.

2. Wunderwood (J Egan) 6-1
3. Lets Roll (N Callan) 20-1
12 ran. Dist: 1l�l, hd

Soulacroix, ridden by Kerrin McEvoy, comes from an unpromising position to get the btter of Wunderwood.

The Luca Cumani-trained five-year-old is immediately cut for the Ebor at York later in August by bookmakers.

Both the first and second could now head for the Melbourne Cup in November.

1550 Betfair Molecomb Stakes

1515 Betfair Cup

1. Iffraaj (L Dettori) 6-4f
2. Jedburgh (T Durcan) 40-1
3. Assertive (R Moore) 33-1
10 ran. Dist: 4l, hd

It's a double for Frankie Dettori, who enjoys a comfortable success for the second race in a row.

The Italian, riding well-backed favourite Iffaaj, moves away from long-time leader Suggestive in the home straight.

The five-year-old pulls away from the field as his challengers fade away, allowing outsiders Jedburgh and Assertive to fill the places.

After a poor start to the season, Godolphin are in red-hot form at the moment and jockey Dettori celebrates with his trademark flying dismount to the delight of the Goodwood racegoers.

"He's redeemed himself after an unlucky July Cup. Godolphin horses are running well now and we've plenty more to come."
Winning jockey Frankie Dettori

"I'd love to see Iffraaj go to the Breeders' Cup."
BBC presenter Clare Balding

1440 BCG Stakes (Gordon Stakes)
1m4f

1. Sixties Icon (L Dettori) 7-4f
2. Jadalee (M Dwyer) 9-1
3. Linas Selection (K Darley) 2-1
7 ran.

Sixties Icon becomes the favourite for next month's St Leger after an impressive win.

The Mark Johnston pair Linas Selection and Luberon lead the small field into the home straight before Sixties Icon, under Frankie Dettori, moves up a gear about 1� furlongs out.

From then on, the winner is not in doubt and he cruises home 1� lengths clear.

There is a quite a big late gamble on Classic Punch, a half-brother to the legendary Persian Punch, but the horse fails to make any impression in the race.

"Sixties Icon stays well and he's one on the shortlist for the St Leger."
Winning jockey Frankie Dettori

"It was a walk in the park for Frankie. I think we're watching a St Leger winner here."
BBC Sport analyst Willie Carson

2. Tabadal (R Hills) 7-1
3. Folio (N Mackay) 25-1
4. Magic Sting (H Turner) 25-1
16 ran. Dist: Nk,�l, shd

A good start to the meeting for trainer Mark Johnston, who notches up his 48th winner at the course.

Tabadoul hits the front with two furlongs to go but tires in the final stages.

There are four or five horses breathing down his neck as the winning line beckons and Crosspeace just gets up to snatch the �31,160 first prize.

"A big field suits him and he did it in style."
Winning jockey Royston Ffrench
