Dettori Ends Glittering Jockey Career in Brazil

Yesterday, At The Races reported Frankie Dettori retired after final wins at Gavea racecourse, Rio de Janeiro, and will join Kia Joorabchain’s Amo Racing team as an ambassador.
Following confirmation last November, Dettori reversed his 2023 retirement on Champions Day at Ascot, riding in Argentina and Uruguay before concluding at Gavea racecourse in Rio de Janeiro.
His CV features 15 winners at the Breeders’ Cup, the Ascot 'Magnificent Seven' in 1996, British champion three times, and the Derby win on Authorized after 14 attempts.
In an Instagram post, Dettori said `Today I climb into the saddle for the last time` and recalled beginning riding in Italy as a 15-year-old nearly 40 years ago, thanking supporters.
Connections to horses such as dual Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner Enable and top stayer Stradivarius underscore his influence in elite racing.
