Youre a legend frankie.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾.fabulous jockey and more importantly a lovely human being. Everyone in this world makes

[@paulkelly5788]

frankie is a man wtih so much talent and has been the face of flat racing for years. without him flat racing would suffer badly

[@ddub5960]

Frankie and kieron legends....I would love to have a party with these two....

[@anotherblonde]

It probably saved Frankie's life not to be working for Godolphin anymore. Such strange things like a plane crash meant to kill him as the Sheikhs main jockey, then the sheikh's favourite horse dies of grass sickness, then the Al Zarooni horses test positive, then the sheikh's son dies of a strange ailment. Reads a bit like something out of the Godfather.

Leave this guy alone. It goes without saying that racing would be in a worse state without him. He is an ambassador for this sport and 1 mistake should not tarnish his unbelievable career. Good luck frankie

Legend Frankie everyone makes mistakes but he came back firing amazing person happy retirement my friend

[@dankelly4976]

Don't shoot the messenger, but apparently he racked up on Fujiyama Crest's head on the final straight

[@silverkitty2503]

A lot of doctors link low body weight and strict diet to addictions to compensate.

[@thecolonelsvids3154]

wasn't he arrested in 1996 for similar behaviour? Once off my arse.

[@z.bellingham2556]

[@paulprice1986]

No sugar cubes for Frankie's horses haha 🎱

[@murdoch691]

The Alex Higgins of racing flawed but a true great

[@mrgoodbytes4709]

i think sheik mohammed didnt see him because he was busy, even if you run a city the size of dubai you wont get a lot of free time, a city with the rep of dubai shows that he has barely time for himself. including his stable and darley stud

[@stevenpearce1075]

Unless you work in racing you don't have a clue what's goes on behind close doors

[@craigsmallman1035]

Why did he only get 6 months ??

[@adamhemingway4957]

White lines going through my mind
