Weighed In: the best and worst from this week's racing

Performance of the weekend

Following Royal Ascot it seemed nothing or nobody could stop Caravaggio after the three-way slugfest that was the Commonwealth Cup.

If it looked like Clive Cox's star sprinter Harry Angel was down on the canvas, no one seemed to tell either horse, trainer or jockey Adam Kirby, as the three-year-old turned the form around decisively in the July Cup.

Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor is generating plenty of hype and headlines, but a decider between Harry Angel and Caravaggio would be true box office material.

Comeback of the weekend

Not many jockeys would be riding in a Group 1 on their third ride back after injury, but normal rules don't apply to Frankie Dettori.

The superstar rider admitted he had come back to the saddle probably a week too soon, but getting back aboard Oaks winner Enable was too big a temptation, and the pair duly completed a double with a seamless victory in the Irish equivalent.

Dettori treated the Curragh crowd to a flying dismount and could be doing the same again at Chantilly in October if Enable heads to the Arc.

Disappointment of the weekend

As good as Harry Angel was, it was surprising Caravaggio could not even finish in the first three, and trainer Aidan O'Brien did not issue any excuses in the immediate aftermath.

It would be unwise to dismiss the sprinter, but he now has questions to answer, after seemingly having the sprinting world at his feet following Ascot.

50 not out

Racing's much-vaunted Super Saturday offers jockeys outside of the usual suspects the chance to get some big-race rides, with so much action taking place, and Clifford Lee took full advantage.

The 5lb claimer landed the biggest prize of his career aboard Above The Rest in the Bunbury Cup, and the valuable victory also reduced his claim to 3lb for good measure as it was his 50th winner.

Quote of the week

"Clive's the most fantastic guy. It doesn’t matter if you're Sheikh Mohammed or Joe Bloggs, he treats everyone the same and he's always a gentleman."

Harry Angel's former owner Peter Ridgers was magnanimous in his praise for the trainer after seeing the horse who used to carry his colours win a Group 1.
