It was the news that has the whole racing world talking, and we finally got to hear from the man himself as Frankie Dettori talks about his recently-announced ‘sabbatical’ from top trainer John Gosden and at least a temporary halt to their highly successful association.
A partnership that goes back three decades, Dettori and Gosden have enjoyed particular success from Clarehaven Stables in Newmarket since the two teamed up in 2015, kickstarting an indian summer to Dettori’s career with Derby glory aboard Golden Horn the first of 41 Group 1 victories in Britain and Ireland as well as three Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe successes and more top-level wins in France and America with such equine stars including Enable, Stradivarius, Palace Pier and Too Darn Hot.
Speaking to Racing TV’s Chris Dixon on the July Course at Newmarket, Dettori explains more about his seeming departure from the Gosden fold and vows to ride on for at least the rest of this season and for the following campaign in 2023.

my brother is a jockeys agent in Newmarket and knows Franie quite well. He said he's a lovely man, down to earth as is his wife.
He should have been banned for life after taking drugs
Probs back on the charlie
Lets face it Frankie is 51. only natural to bring new blood in to ride. Personally if he saddles, I up my wager, he is that good.
Francie you have done everything in your sport ,not forgetting the crash your an absolutely brilliant sportsman and entertainer go and ride us a hundred to one winner just to show the doubters
Frankie's been a bad rider for well over a decade now, never rides a horse out for a place as soon as a horse comes under pressure and he knows he cant win he never battles properly for a place, he does this ridic hands and heels things with his forearms that doesnt even put his shoulder power in, i cant believe he doesnt get pulled up on it more, i know he's 50 odd and cant ride every horse out fighting to death for 2 furlongs to nick third but that's his problem if he cant so that for of his age he should swallow and retire, which is what he shoulda done about a 10 years ago, i never thought his style or riding prowess was anything special, and ive never thought of him as being in the same class as ryan moore or kieren fallon
Go frankie detori. Still speaks to the commentators and change could be good for him.great jockey still now and allways has been .my moneys on him with right horses he's still one of the best ever 👏
Class interview from Frankie shame Gosden didn't show the same class when interviewed after the race but then Jimmy Fortune got treated like crap by Gosden. Frankie is still brilliant.
Franky you Will always be the maradona of racing world just relax and enjoy you are the best men🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
He won on his one ride it was tipped.
Jah rastafari frankie is the best jockey in the world from a kid in jamaica he so smooth in this interview same wen he r
Unfortunately every thing doesn't last forever and we all know that, Frankie has and still will be a top jockey for us racing fans, his presence, and exuberance knocked the stuffiness out of flat racing that has endured the general public since he greeted these shores. John Gosden is a top trainer and a very articulate man who is running a business at the end of the day. I am pretty sure their friendship will never waver despite the split, they have both endured to much together for that .
Lost a treble on Emily upjohn but win a lot of money on lanfranko.you will have bad days champ hope to see you at Saratoga stay blessed 🙌
Frankie you’re always be the guvnor when you stop I’ll stop ❤️❤️
Some his rides been pretty bad lately last wk was terrible in the ascot gold cup
Legend but time is creeping up in him and many others
it’s a pity many of the younger jockeys are poor
What a shitty thing the Gosden did? I've no more respect for them. What an employer? Frankie will be better off without them!
Nothing to do with John and Frankie I think it's is son thady
Give Baffert a call, Frankie. His "cuffs" come off in a couple of days … just in time for Saratoga.
John gosden shouldn’t have aired his views on frankies ride in the gold cup should have kept that private ! Should have more respect for frankie who has been great for the world of horse racing and for gosden.
First sign of discontent was the ride on palace pier against Baaeed last year , Gosden wasn’t happy that day.
When Frankie retires racing will come to an end without Frankie racing is on a big loser
"vows to ride on" – this saga, whilst seeming unsavoury is a no win all round.Both parties ( and connotations ) appear equally both right and wrong against the other.It could be said both are simply relatively employed by say outlandish concerns.This is a serious issue but it's beans in a box regarding the players whom, again are doing highly stressful jobs but essentially are merely go to people from those overarching.Winners and losers, are not confined to the realms of horseriding nor traineeship.Its a very commercial sport, where investors these days can somehow be guaranteed return.How so?
love to see him ride in the palio de siena one day
Frankie is a legend of the sport and always will be. I do think father time waits for no man but i still think he is one of the best jockeys in the world. He is a great judge of pace and has always been one of the best jockeys to lead from the front. There was nothing wrong with his ride on Lazoo yesterday. I think there is still plenty more good days for Frankie to come. I can see him be retained by Ralph Becketten
Let's remember other jockeys ride to win and that is what there did there boxed him in you could see this from way out he could not go forward or back could not come out that was on the cards very early, he did what he thought was the only way he could win not knowing that a gap would open up if he stay where he was so it is what it is. The Queen's horse, I cannot remember what he could have done better but who am I ? He is a great jockey who the people believe in not the same as Starkey so many times he did not ride for the public.
before people used to tell MORE THAN AUSTRALIAN RACES the English races are good but now its other side they to cheating punters always.
in 1990's he is a good jockey but now all the jockeies are pulling good horses for the shake of bookies not for punters side. its a blady shame for Englush horse racing
Istanbul? Presumably he has his own plane.
He chose not to ride to many horses this year! He ring rusty
You deserved it . Mr. John Gosden done the right decision to kick you out from his stables. You messed up at Godolphin and now you did the same shit. You've been cheating so many times . Only things you know is doing business with all your Italian & Hong Kong punters.
You think you are the only best jockey in this World. Remember where there's uphill , there's downhill also.
Greedy jockey. Better trumpeter than Winton Marsalis.
Gosden should have told him personally before all the speculation in the press .
He screwed up the ride but his mistake was blaming the horse. Bad move on his part.
His demeanour tells me everything that I suspected- he was sacked. Even the greats come to an end and his riding at Royal Ascot showed that he is on the wane. Sad but true.
It's a sabbatical, not a divorce. He'll definitely be on Inspiral, next time out
Frankie been a great jockey, but he has lived on Ascot and 7 winners for to many year's. He was shocking at Royal Ascot last week and if I Inspiral wasn't a machine he would of got beat on that aswell…88 Rides all season!
