When was Frankie Dettori’s last win?
Dettori’s most recent win came in the Riyadh Dirt Sprint in February 2023.
This win in the 2023 Saudi Cup was worth a huge £738,621.
The Italian will be making the most of his time in the saddle this year as he is set to retire in November 2023, putting an end to a fantastic career in horse racing.
Dettori said this about his retirement: “I have given myself a year to do my last farewell.
“I went to Santa Anita because I was asked to go instead of spending winter in Dubai.
“Then I move onto the European programme and Royal Ascot should be my last one. Then the Breeders’ Cup should be my last meeting.
“I don’t know, maybe the Melbourne Cup could materialise, but basically this year will be my last.
“I will be 53 in December and hopefully I will finish at the top.”
Dettori’s last showing in Britain looks set to be at Ascot’s Champions Day in October 2023.
