Dettori: Hopes there may be better to come
Passion For Gold could be heading to Royal Ascot after making a winning return to action in the Southern Daily Echo Tapster Stakes at Goodwood.
Godolphin's colt was a Group One winner at two but missed all of last season.
He was beaten comfortably by Jet Away on his comeback at Lingfield but turned the tables in emphatic fashion, making all of the running under Frankie Dettori and coming in two and a half lengths clear of the 4-6 favourite.
"He won a Group One in France and was going to be my Derby horse but we couldn't get him there," said Dettori.
"I still didn't think he was 100% fit today and I thought he might get tired, but the way he has come on from his first run makes me think he'll come on again."
Trainer Saeed bin Suroor added: "He had tiny ligament problems, nothing major, but he'll improve. He is entered in the Hardwicke Stakes so we'll think about that."
