Frankie Dettori after his ride with Honey Pants

No horse has ever triumphed in a race without its rider, and Frankie Dettori is no different. Honey Pants, a horse trained by Philip D’Amato, and six years old, won its Grade 3 stakes, which is also its second career victory ever. Everyone was filled with pride and joy as they saw the great jockey regain the lead in the race after a tough start. This victory brings the 53-year-old jockey’s total earnings to over $500k since he began his American horse racing adventure in California on December 26. However, hours after the race, Dettori posted on X, saying, “Honey, Honey.”

There were only two words in the caption, along with a handful of pictures of Dettori. The only thing that matches the caption is the name of the horse that Dettori enjoyed riding in the Grade 3 stakes. Nevertheless, the 53-year-old included his trademark celebratory stance in the X post, where he stands and smiles at the camera. The second shot captures the intensity of the race, while the last one of Dettori exudes sheer joy. The jockey has been around a while, so he understands how to make the most of his victories. Meanwhile, more praises dropped in for the dazzling win.

A token of appreciation from the trainer

Without the trainer’s review or brief remark, no horse racing triumph would be complete. Even Honey Pants’ trainer, who gushed over Frankie Dettori with appreciation after the huge victory, falls into this category. When asked about Dettori, the renowned trainer, as per Racing Post, claimed the 53-year-old jockey as “the best of all time.”
