Frankie Dettori Celebrates 50 Years on Tuesday

Leading Flat jockey Frankie Dettori, who is also an ambassador for Sporting Index, will celebrate his 50th birthday on Tuesday. The Italian’s mounts have found the winner’s circle a total of 262 times at Group 1 level and have earned £150 million in prize money. In 2020, Dettori had nine Group 1 wins worldwide, as well as a 70th winner at Royal Ascot.

“I have never felt fitter or more ready and able than I am now at this milestone,” said Dettori, who has celebrated 63 of those Group 1 wins in the last five years, a career best. “Longines have recently awarded me the title of the Best Jockey in the World, based on worldwide ratings, for the third year in a row so that has added a spring to my step.”

Queen Of Racing: Behind-The-Scenes Enable Film Sales To Benefit Injured Jockeys Fund

Juddmonte is pleased to announce the release of a film celebrating the unparalleled racing career of Enable, produced in collaboration with Equine Productions.

With an immeasurable will to win, and a race record that is unrivalled, no other horse in European racing history has ever achieved what Enable did. The film is the story of the monumental racing career of Prince Khalid Abdullah's champion filly, spanning the five years from her arrival onto a racetrack in 2016 to her retirement at Banstead Manor Stud.

An intimate interview between trainer John Gosden and jockey Frankie Dettori reveals a behind-the-scenes account of what went into her achievements and gives insight into the pressures that came with attempting the seemingly impossible third win in Europe's richest and most prestigious race, the Gr.1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

The film relives Enable's successes, difficulties and celebrations both on the track and off, showing how she managed to conquer and transcend the racing world to become a global superstar and earn the title, the “Queen of Racing.”

The DVD is now available for pre-order on Amazon priced at £14.99 (US$18.16), at https://amzn.to/3n0FJKb.

Juddmonte will make a contribution to the Injured Jockeys Fund from the proceeds of sales.
