Frankie Dettori: Risk, Rivalries, and Redemption: More Than A Jockey

By Edward B. Steele

Frankie Dettori is more than a jockey-he is a legend who changed the face of horse racing forever. From his beginnings in Milan as the son of a champion jockey to becoming a household name across the globe, Dettori's story is one of talent, charisma, and resilience.

This book takes readers on a journey through the highs and lows of Dettori's extraordinary life. It captures his breakthrough moments, such as the unforgettable "Magnificent Seven" at Ascot, while also exploring the struggles and setbacks that nearly cost him everything. Suspensions, injuries, and personal battles threatened to derail his career, but his relentless spirit and determination carried him back to the winner's circle time and again. Beyond the track, readers will discover the man behind the legend-his family life, passions, and the drive that kept him at the top of his game for decades. His partnerships with legendary horses, his triumphs on the world stage, and his enduring influence on racing make his story not just one of sporting success, but of resilience, reinvention, and joy. Whether you are a lifelong racing fan or simply love the story of an underdog who defied the odds, Frankie Dettori's journey will inspire, entertain, and remind you why true legends never fade.
