Jockey Frankie Dettori and his manager of over 30 years, Peter Burrell, will no longer be working together according to published reports.
Dettori, who is retiring at the end of the year, began working with Burrell in 1987, besides a brief split in 2007 and 2008. Dettori's career has been highlighted by a trio of champion jockey titles and big-race wins on an international scale, but also for his 'Magnificent Seven', where he won all seven races at Ascot in 1996. Besides assisting Dettori with his storied career on the track, Burrell has also aided the Italian with his career away from the races. Among other projects, the jockey released a film, Dettori, in 2021.
Burrell told The Sun, “I've not too much to say other than we both felt that we wanted to explore other avenues. I have other projects that I now want to spend more time on and I'm looking forward to it. It's been a great thirty year run and we remain great friends.”
