Frankie Dettori's Top 20 Racehorses

The top 20 best racehorses that Frankie Dettori has ridden, in my opinion. He's ridden so many quality horses over his career so to pick 20 was difficult!
If I had to choose who I think is the best I would go with Dubai Millenium. He was spectacular when winning both the Dubai World Cup & Prince of Wales Stakes and I would have loved to have seen him run in the Breeders Cup Classic. Sadly that wasn't to be because injury ended his career early.

Frankie Detorri is one of the world's best jockeys ever past or present and he is just an awesome guy in general met him in Barbados and at Woodbine in Canada, actually has a racing program from 2002 that he signed.

[@MILESnomore]

swain, singspiel, daylami -- all very hard to beat, on their day!

[@malcolmdastur4411]

Frankie, many years of sheer genius.

[@SpursFanCanada]

Lammtarra never got the credit he deserved.Unbeaten in 4 starts,wins the Derby in only his second start after a 302 day lay off,then wins the King George and the Arc.Only very special horses do that.

[@GeorgeFreeman55]

SpursFanCanada true... Wish they would've kept him in training

[@somersetfan1]

@@GeorgeFreeman55 heard somewhere that he was a really aggressive stallion too. Sounded like the racetrack was the best place for him

[@Nautilus1972]

I thought Lammtarra was very special - one of the most impressive derby winners I ever saw, and what a great ride by the choirboy! I was there the day Balanchine won and backed him and got him to sign my card. Winning the Irish derby ... on a mare. Hasn't been done very often! That King George and some top horses in it too. Lochsong was a great mare. Great memories.

FRANKI SUPER.. ❤❤❤ BRAVOOOOOO....

[@scottnewton1856]

The ride on Golden horn in the Arc was magnificent,if you watch the race from the start you will see what i mean.

[@lyndseychadwick7503]

Genius that day👌

[@sabrehill1]

Great jockey, ridden some cracking horses. Halling was another one I liked.

[@AftaaSah19]

one of the most impressive win of Franko Dettori was in Mauritius on a horse called penddleton during the international jockeys day Frankie was crowned in the drivers seat for that occasion. Pendleton N Frankie did what I never saw like a 'slalom'' to win

Great horses one and all.

[@paulburke1762]

What a legend !

[@an08p]

When I was watching past horses, I was thinking some horses were really amazing in the stretch run as if they had turned up the gear and accelerated to win and with time I realized one thing: About 8/10 of them had Frankie Dettori as jockey and I understood why they were amazing performances.

[@aidanjoyce3248]

Sakhee was brilliant. One of my all time favs.

[@jamesbaker6834]

Sakhee was special on soft ground the way he won the arc wow what a performance

[@johnclark448]

Falbrav looked impressive Lochsong..loved that horse

Dubai Millennium, he could have been the best ever, stunning horse.

[@kingkonho]

Yeah was good but best ever? Wouldn't have got within 5 of Frankel.

[@Rab18-02]

@@jamesbaker6834 I agree with you, as for the comment above about Frankel, I'm not so sure, I'd look at it this way, over 8 Furlongs Frankel probably wins, Over 10 furlongs Dubai Millennium destroys him.

When doing the Melbourne Cup form these days you include most of the English & Irish stayers but putting a line through Frankie Detorri's mount is a key consideration. He has been ordinary out here and is almost a running Joke.

[@Spursrule1969]

Bit like the Aussie jockeys, Absolutely terrible riders, Who was clown who rode Black Caviar? Another clown is that Kerrin McEvoy, brought him over from Aus and had to kick his arse back down under as he was so bad, Now won his 3rd MC i believe, lol, truly shocking.

[@cosmicrooster65]

Luke Nolan rode Black Caviar who was injured in the run with muscle tears and bruising the only reason anything got near her, her cruising speed was better than most other horses sprints. (agree Nolan's no superstar) www.abc.net.au/news/2012-06-25/black-caviar-victorious-despite-injuries/4089658. Yeah McEvoy just won Godolphin's first cup (his 3rd), 4 is the record for a Jockey. He was a kid when he won in 2000 as an apprentice and it was only a year or two later they took him over there. I see Frankie D killed them in the recent Breeders Cup championships. McEvoy has more G1 wins but Detorri has a higher strike rate. There are different surfaces, racing styles, rules & regs, cultures etc which makes it hard for someone flying in and out for a meeting or 2 to adjust and dominate unless its someone who does it all the time. Some of the Irish Jockeys have been impressive in Australia as has Ryan Moore. I reckon our best measure up, many of the Aussie riders are very successful in Hong Kong and Singapore when based there full time. There's plenty of quality racing and prizemoney here & in Asia so no need to go elsewhere. Hugh Bowman was rated the best jockey in the Longines World ratings last year, primarily because of WINX the greatest G1 winning horse of all time (jointly, but not yet retired).

[@GeorgeFreeman55]

Odd... The man has won almost every huge race in the world yet he is a joke in Australia... Except for the late George Freeman nobody in Australia knows anything about horse racing...I am sure frankie a breeders cup multi classic winning jockey craves the approval of Bea Smith and whoever else your country has produced outside of the Jardine owned bradman

[@Spursrule1969]

@@cosmicrooster65 Just a quick look tells me that Australia has 72 G1 races, England has 36, So that's to be expected, Just looking at those G1's in England i know 10 of those races have only become G1's in the last 10 years or so, When i was used to bet there were about around 23 G1 races. Take the Diamond Jubilee that Black Caviar won, It was a G3 race from 1971-1998, G2 from 98-02 before becoming a G1 race and yet it is arguably our most important G1 Sprint race despite only being in it's 16th year.

[@cosmicrooster65]

@@Spursrule1969 Alot of ours have been upgraded when they probably shouldnt be, there are alot of soft G1s. Even the Warwick Stakes (now Winx stakes) was G2 for years. There are also alot of 2 and 3yo G1s. The overall racing probably 10 furlongs up wards is vastly superior in the UK as is the breeding industry. Locally theres a bizarre greedy obsession with breeding sprinter milers.

Dettori is out of his depth racing in Australia. Too risky and dangerous when under pressure and has nearly brought horses down around him.
