In the thrilling realm of horse racing, one name has stood out above all others for decades—Frankie Dettori. He was born on December 15, 1970, in Milan, Italy. Frankie Dettori is known as one of the greatest jockeys in horse racing history. On September 28, 1996, at Ascot Racecourse, he accomplished the “Magnificent Seven.” He won all seven races on the card writing his name in sporting history.  He has two Epsom Derby victories, the first with Authorized in 2007 and the second with Golden Horn in 2015.

He has also won the Oaks and St. Leger Stakes on multiple occasions showing dominance in prestigious races. At Royal Ascot, he has over 70 career victories. He has seven Gold Cup victories, six Queen Anne Stakes victories, and four St. James’s Palace Stakes victories to his credit. Dettori’s Royal Ascot performances have earned him the title “King of Ascot.” Now, as Royal Ascot 2023 unfolds, the stage is set for both a glorious display and a bittersweet farewell.

A race at Royal Ascot has been renamed this year.

Royal Ascot is one of the most prestigious and anticipated horse racing events of the year, showcasing a unique blend of world-class racing, fashion, and royalty. The event has a rich history dating back over 300 years, having been inaugurated by Queen Anne in 1711.  The five-day event includes 30 thrilling races, including eight Group 1 races such as the Gold Cup, Queen Anne Stakes, and Diamond Jubilee Stakes.
