Dettori Memorabilia Auction Led By Signed Oaks Trophy

The online sale of 126 racing items from jockey Frankie Dettori's private collection–offered by Cheffins in Cambridge from July 5 through July 18–was highlighted by a trophy from his victory aboard Soul Sister in last month's Betfred Oaks. Likely his final career Classic victory, the signed trophy brought £5,000 from an undisclosed U.K. buyer.

Also sold were a pair of signed boots from a race in Saudi Arabia for £2,800, a signed racing saddle used by Dettori at Epsom for £1,400 and a set of the royal blue Godolphin silks which went for £4,600 to a buyer from Japan. Dettori's weighing scales, which were given to him by Steve Cauthen and which Dettori claims he has been “jumping on and off for over 30 years”, were sold for £550.

The 52-year-old, who retires at the end of this season, indicated some of the proceeds of the auction–which are estimated to total over £75,000–will go to the charity Direct Aid For Africa (Dafa), and some will go to his five children.
