Jockey heads into retirement for second time
-
US stint to end in Breeders’ Cup Mile on Saturday
Frankie Dettori has announced he will end his two-year stint in the US after the main card of the 2025 Breeders’ Cup in Del Mar, California on Saturday, before “concluding my career with a few rides in South America, something I’ve always wanted to do”.
The 54-year-old jockey first announced his retirement in December 2022, saying he would take his final rides at the 2023 Breeders’ Cup, but subsequently decided to move to the lucrative US circuit instead. He has enjoyed two successful seasons, initially on the west coast and more recently from a base in Florida, and will now bow out in a prestigious meeting at the end of a career that started as a teenager in Italy.
