BEST of the BETS

Looks like he'll be doing a farewell tour round the racecourses like McCoy, but dont expect him down at Ffos Las !

Dettori told ITV Racing: "Next year, 2023, will be my final professional year as a jockey. It's something I've been thinking about for a while.

"I'm riding on Boxing Day at Santa Anita and I'm planning to spend around ten weeks in California. I'll make my way back via Dubai and Saudi Arabia and then I guess I'll start the season in Newmarket.

"It will be my last Guineas, my last Derby, my last Royal Ascot, and so on. I'll then probably finish in Britain on Champions Day or at Newmarket and then have my final farewell as a professional rider in California at the Breeders' Cup. Everything is pencilled in but that's my plan.

End of an era but what a great jockey.

Great jock with an amazing record, racing will lose it's most colourful individual.

I'm confused as to when Frankie will actually retire :yikes:
Still riding at Santa Anita in California, and doing well.
Looks like retirement has been postponed - at least for now.
