CONTINUOUS and Ryan Moore spoiled Frankie Dettori's St Leger retirement party on a royal occasion at Doncaster.
The 3-1 chance charged clear of the Italian jockey's final Classic ride Arrest for an impressive victory on Town Moor.
Much of the build-up focused on Dettori's 11-4 favourite and Desert Hero, the big race hope owned by King Charles and Camilla.
But the 46-year wait for a first royal winner in one of Flat racing's five elite races, which dates back to Dunfermline in the 1977 event, goes on.
The couple, given a very warm reception by the 22,000-strong crowd, watched Desert Hero (6-1) take an honourable third place - a career best effort according to trainer William Haggas.
