Legendary jockey Frankie Dettori has announced that he will no longer be retiring at the end of the season, despite participating in a ‘retirement tour’ of the UK and Ireland. The Italian has decided to remain in the saddle next year, though will only be riding in the United States.
After revealing in December 2022 that he was set to conclude his successful career at the end of this season, Dettori posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) announcing that he had had a change of heart and those plans had been scrapped.
He explained: “Hi everyone, Frankie here. I’m in London promoting British Champions Day which will be my last day riding in England, but I have a scoop for you guys, I have decided to prolong my career and I’m going to go to the United States from next year. Keep on following me!”
