Frankie Dettori

British flat race jockey, born in Milan, Italy. He left school at 13 to became a stableboy and apprentice, a year later continuing in the UK, where a family friend was a Newmarket trainer. A champion apprentice in 1990, his later achievements include the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (1990), French Derby (1992), Irish Derby (1994), Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (1995, 2001), and the English Classic races The Oaks (1994, 1995, 2002), St Leger (1995, 1996, 2005, 2006), Two Thousand Guineas (1996, 1999), and One Thousand Guineas (1998, 2002). He was champion jockey for two successive seasons (1994, 1995), and in 1996 was winner of all seven races on one card at Ascot. He narrowly escaped death in a light aircraft crash at Newmarket in 2000. In 2003 he won the Hong Kong Cup, the final race in the World Racing Series, and was named top jockey of the series. He was crowned champion jockey for a third time in 2004.
