Totally agree with this consensus and there are very few jockeys I actively avoid backing, I think Shane Kelly is about the only one.

However, have to think Dettori's time is coming to an end. They've already said he's not "number one" anymore and the rides will be shared and after a major balls up on a G1, you do wonder whether he'll be sent another rung down the ladder there. I don't think Barzalona or De Sousa are anywhere near as good when Dettori is at his best but it seems as though the powers that be want to slowly phase him out.
