ARCADIA >> Frankie Dettori has enjoyed days like this before, most famously when he rode all seven winners on a card at Ascot Racecourse in England in 1996.

He laughed when asked if he ever sees such days coming.

“I got up this morning, after I flew back from (competing in Kentucky) last night, thinking, ‘Oh my God, I’m 53. I can’t remember riding 11 races in a day. I hope I can make it!’” Dettori said.

Not only did he make it through the card Saturday. The globetrotting Italian jockey had one of the great afternoons in Santa Anita’s 90-year history. Dettorit rode six winners, including Nothing Like You in a rail-skimming, 7 1/2-length victory in the $300,000, Grade II Santa Anita Oaks for 3-year-old fillies.

The wins were one short of Laffit Pincay’s Santa Anita record of seven on March 14, 1987. They made Dettori one of 15 jockeys to win six in a day at the Arcadia track.
