'A great read for anyone interested in racing.' Irish Independent
'Not since Lester Piggott stopped riding has racing been able to identify itself with a Christian name alone. Way beyond the confines of the betting office and the racetrack, people know who Frankie is.’ The Sunday Times
Frankie Dettori was born in Milan in December 1970. He was sent to Newmarket at the age of 16 by his father, Lanfranco, a former Italian champion jockey, where he worked as a bookie before being taken up by the trainer Luca Cumani. In 1990 he became the first teenager since Lester Piggott to ride 100 winners in a season. In the next ten years he became one of the most successful jockeys the flat has ever seen, and was awarded an MBE in 2000. He is currently the No 1 stable jockey for Godolphin. He has a wife, Catherine, and four children.
