Frankie Dettori Retirement Year Thread

Does anyone still care?

He's already staged more comebacks than Frank Sinatra - and almost as many as Hayley Turner!

Still a cracking jockey, was polite to me the only time I ever encountered him, I take as I find so can't have an issue with him, but he's one of those people I suspect if I'd met him a few more times I might have developed a different personal opinion on.

I very much doubt it.

It was the briefest of encounters.

I'd arrived slightly late at Windsor races one evening, and was walking briskly in to catch the second race, he'd had just the one ride in the opener and was walking out, he stopped to let me in my haste past him, which I thought was actually quite polite, considerate, and not at all egotistical.

I simply said "thank you" as I walked past, while thinking to myself: "he seems like a regular guy to me with no side to him, I can't knock that."

But maybe that's as good as it gets with him!

None of it really matters and I honestly couldn't care less if he's still doing his umpteenth farewell tour in ten years' time - he won't be getting any money off me out of it.
