Five Frankie Dettori magic moments as he approaches 3000 British winners

Authorized provided Dettori with his first Investec Derby winner in 2007. It was his 15th attempt at trying to capture the Classic contest and the Peter Chapple-Hyam trained colt romped to an easy success.

Dubai Millenium

Dubai Millennium is one of the best ridden by Dettori and stormed to a six-length victory the Dubai World Cup in 2010. The colt oozed class and carried the colours of Goldophin, Dettori’s employers at the time, to victory in the world’s richest race.

Fujayama Crest

Dettori rode all seven winners on an extraordinary afternoon at Ascot in 1996 and Fujiyama Crest was the last leg of the “Magnificent Seven”. The four-year-old had lost his five previous starts that season, but was backed into 2-1 favouritism and scrambled home by a neck under a power packed ride from Dettori.

Colour Vision

Colour Vision had tremendous guts and was given a great tactical ride by Dettori to land a thrilling Ascot Gold Cup in 2012 when holding off the late challenge of Opinion Poll. The gelding kept finding for Dettori’s urgings to prevail by a fast diminishing 1/2 a length.

Rewilding

Rewilding came from miles off the pace under Dettori to get up close home an beat Aussie super horse So You Think in the 2011 running of the Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot. Dettori judged the pace to perfection and it was a master class in race riding.
