Frankie's Magnificent 7

Fred takes a look back on Frankie's Magnificent 7 from 1996.

[@UXB-p5u]

Fred Done says that Frankie's first winner ' Mark of Esteem was trained by Henry Cecil' not when he won this race he wasn't, he had been but after a disagreement between the owner and trainer it had moved stables.

His arms😮 and his brain 😊made the difference❤

[@walg8408]

All this says to me is how much the bookies win on multiples on every other raceday, The punters had a fill this day

[@randymun7138]

The latest is Brazilian Jockey Joao Moreira who won eight wins out of eight races in 2013 Singapore Kranji Turf Club believed to be world record.

Singapore Keranji Racecorse is not in the European or American league .The standard of racing is totally different..Royal Ascot is Elite and world class horse Racing The horses 🐎jockeys and trainers are on a different Level 😊.And definitely it will not going to be recognize as world record

[@jimmoore6116]

This is the real reason the bookies have introduced cash out. They know if people have say 4 winners with 3 to run and offered say £30,000 they will take it. It’s saves them a fortune ask those caught when Fannie rode his seven.

[@Pey-Gang]

Lester piggot the one and only jockey who loves fixing races.The only jockey that stewards will listen to 😂😂.. Lester and Bookies are blood brothers😅😅 Lester isThe GoD Father of fixed races.

[@leonstone4738]

Stupid comment by the bookmaker re Frankie. He wouldn’t be complaining if Frankie lost the last one or all 7. Frankie simply had the right horses on the day . nothing to do with luck.

[@waqarkhan25]

I just wish the BBC make a film or a drama about the bookie getting kicked up their backside just to see what the heck where they thinking or doing after that and how much they have to pay out or a full documentary either way it would be great i think

[@James-b7p2k]

Pat eddery never got busy enough on that in the last race

[@michaellapsumchang679]

Frankie definitely was a legend!!!

[@joeexotic5831]

He still rides lots of winners to this day, in all the big races. Is a legend

This is incredible but a very true story . I use to be a betting shop manager for a small bookies in east London by the name of Douglas Tyler I use to have a lad who use to be my cashier a lovely lad called Ricky a real honest genuine lad but sadly he was always struggling for money and use to on a Saturday regular as clockwork would borrow £20 to back dettori he was dettori potty and guaranteed and I mean guaranteed he would have had a sub to back all his 7 horses this day especially being ascot and especially being a Saturday it's was the biggest certainty in the world he would have says gal can I borrow £20 nice lad always paid back midweek .anyway on the Friday night Hackney dogs was racing a evening meeting and he decided to go there so he liked his beer and decided to have a couple more after the meeting with a friend of his .on the way back home he parts from his friend and they shake hands and go there separate ways so Ricky was crossing at Whitechapel not far from the London hospital about 100 yards away unfortunately this is where life took its sad turn Ricky was knocked down by a passing car and to cut a sad story short he was knocked unconscious and was put into intensive care and sadly he never recovered and passed away a few days later . I spoke to his mate before he passed away and he told me Ricky had a good night at Hackney dogs on that Friday the day before dettori magnificent 7 told me he won 300 which was a fortune to Ricky the crux of the story is I know how he use to play dettoris mounts no singles but doubles trebles four foulds and upwards and upwards until he reached the accumalator but this time he had money to spare to have bigger stakes and knowing him he would have staked about £50 this particular day he was the biggest Frankie fan I have ever known he religiously backed him every day without fail even if it was only a tenner outlay and he always took the morning prices without fail so what this lad would have won is beyond me as one thing he always use to do would always increase the acca I would say knowing him so well and knowing how he backed dettori we would be talking minimum 1/2 a million pound but I really think it would have been more . sadly he never got to the shop that day and the rest is history this is a very true and heartbreaking story I know a lot who read this will say how would I know he would have had the bet well to answer that is if u knew him you would know how facinated he was by the jockey that's all he talked about rip Ricky sadly sir it just was not to be

[@yiyodder]

Aww that's so sad.

[@TheJimbojetset1]
