Royal Ascot 2012: Frankie Dettori rides Colour Vision to victory over Opinion Poll in Gold Cup But while Aidan O'Brien's odds-on shot travelled nicely into the straight, he could not pick up from further back and was ultimately well beaten. Formerly with Mark Johnston, Colour Vision had made an impressive debut for Bin Suroor in the rearranged Sagaro Stakes on the all-weather at Kempton, and Dettori clearly felt he was open to more progress than Opinion Poll, who was second in the race 12 months ago. A further neck away from the Godolphin duo in third was the John Oxx-trained Saddler's Rock. Like the winner, he ran an excellent race for a four-year-old, especially considering how hard he pulled in the early stages. Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the Godolphin operation, was delighted to claim a one-two. He said: "Whatever happened, they are two very good horses that finished first and second and that's a good thing. You have to wait a year to prepare your horse to come here and even the second horse ran a great race. Of Dettori and Barzalona, he said: "They are two good jockeys. Frankie is great and Mikael is coming up this year.
