A place for all abuse of and fawning over Mr L Dettori during his final year in the saddle.
Sporting Life is reporting that Kinross is to go for the July Cup - the only British Group 1 that Frankie has yet to win. Assuming Kinross gets there I think this gives him a reasonable chance of completing the set.
I care about as much as a man who has lost his wife's hat.

Good luck to him and I hope he lives happily ever after.
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
My wife beats me and locks me in the cupboard under the stairs for minor infractions, I hate to think what she'd do if I lost her hat.Originally Posted by Grasshopper

Not funny at all Grassy very insensitive
My freind lost his wife's hat....her head was still in it......his trial starts next month
As for Detorri despite what he has achieved over the years I never felt confident with him riding
Not like I did if it was/is Lester, Scobie, Eddery, Swinburn, Cauthon or William Buick ridng, who always gave me added confidence I never felt with Frankie.
It was always like you were waiting for something to go wrong,

The greatest thing ive ever seen on a racecourse and ever will see- Enable and Crystal Ocean 2019 King George
You just know he won't retire at the end of the year though
It'll be like an old rock band having their 'farewell tour' that lasts about 3 years

the Magnificent Seven was an achievement to behold.
Emmm
All comers, all grounds, all beaten!
This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.

This is like my last girlfriend all over.

Aye, the same Frankie who cost Enable a third Arc; an out & out egocentric who's travelling the globe to advertise himself.The greatest thing ive ever seen on a racecourse and ever will see- Enable and Crystal Ocean 2019 King George

I loved Fanny Light, and this was a great race to watch. I used to think the pace maker won this for FL as made G go wide, but seeing it very recently, G could have got there, FL wouldn't let him pass.
Vote Alfie!!!!
Let you off as it is at least proper racing.Im talking about races i was at, not watching on telly

Why is he odious?
Willie Shoe, Yves Saint Martin , Lester (first time) made the most of their final season riding "on tour " to some degree.
Frankie just added extra toppings .
And when it did it was always someone else’s fault
No denying he’s been great for the game despite some obvious bad traits though IMO and deserves to go out on a high

I thought he was seriously over-rated when he went through his apprenticeship but there's no doubt be developed into one of the all-time greats.
(Maybe one day Ryan Moore will be the same)
But latterly a lot of his antics have struck me as more about him being the most important thing to him. Unfortunately the media seem to encourage this as though they think it's good for the sport.
Illegitimi non carborundum
Brilliant stuff from Frankie yesterday, I look forward to a year of watching a master at work.
