A Day In The Life: Frankie Dettori: Stradivarius, Enable and still going strong at 51

[@damienprior4315]

Frankie has been and still is a gift to these shores with his race riding skills, his fun persona that has knocked the stuffiness out of flat racing engages so many of us working class followers of this great sport. Frankie will always be a name that people remember , even those who don't follow racing, we are lucky to have him.

We are so blessed to have you around. Your contribution to racing across the world outweighs by far whatever money you made for yourself. There's still more to come, no question about that.

I am an Italian American & not surprisingly Frankie is my all time favorite Jockey. He is such a great big day Jock.

Great to hear Peter! You think he'll do the business on Stradivarius in the Gold Cup?

[@44sledge]

@@oddschecker Well I hope so , took him at 6/1 ante post , missed out on the 8/1 but nm , got a great price regardless

Nice gesture of Frankie kissing the horse, just shows how much it means to him.

I find it impossible to think that Frankie can act like he does CONSTANTLY . The more I think about it the more I believe it’s all an act and his real persona is completely different .

I notice its mainly gamblers who are bitchy about Frankie - but his first responsibility is to the horse hes riding and the trainer/owners who have hired him. Anyone who values riding ability, true horsemanship and the Art of Race Riding - respect and adore Frankie. The fact that he tries to also make people feel good by his expressive entertaining personality is just another reason to value his contribution to racing. The UKs loss is the US gain, God protect you Frankie - long life health and happiness to you, thank you.

Hard to listen to these comments in hindsight. Problem with Frankie is he makes it look so easy so when it doesn’t go to plan it’s hard to understand

[@paulkelly5788]

I'll be a sad day for racing when Frankie decides to retire that's for damn sure

Well this hasn't aged well 😄
