NOT even Arnold Schwarzenegger could stop Frankie Dettori snatching one of the biggest prizes in racing from the Americans in their own back yard.
The governor of California was on hand to present Frankie with his winning trophy after he took the Breeders' Cup Classic on the John Gosden-trained Raven's Pass at Santa Anita on Saturday.
The Queen Elizabeth II Stakes winner set a new track record to hugely upset the odds.
He stormed home to claim the showpiece Classic race and complete his second victory of the day after earlier riding Donativum to victory in the Juvenile Turf race.
