“Fastest Time Ever”: Horse Racing World in Awe as Frankie Dettori Ridden Horse Shatters Records at Dewhurst Stakes

While Frankie Dettori has retired from horse racing, horses ridden by him continue to break records. The British Flat Racing Champion bid farewell to this beautiful sport after completing his farewell tour in May 2023. During the farewell tour, Dettori rode a special horse, which now has shattered records at Dewhurst stakes.

Chaldean accompanied the British Veteran in his final start at the season’s first Classic back in May 2023. The duo went on to win the 2,000 Guineas, marking Dettori’s fourth Guineas success. And now, Chaldean has broken the ‘fastest’ records in a competitive Group 1 event.

Chaldean shatters record at Dewhurst Stakes

Chaldean is a renowned 3-year-old colt trained by A M Balding. After getting the honor of being ridden by legendary jockey Frankie Dettori, the Frankel-bred has now shattered records at the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes. He recorded a time of 1:22:45, the 2nd fastest in DS history.

The TDN announced Chaldean’s astonishing achievement on Twitter. “1:22:45. 2nd fastest time ever in the G1 Dewhurst Stakes…Faster than his own sire Frankel”, the post read. With this mammoth achievement, the 3-year-old colt has now overtaken one of his sire Frankel as well.

In addition to Frankel, Chaldean overtook several other renowned horses on the list. Some of those include Shamardal, City of Troy, Churchill, and Teofilo. Dettori would surely be proud of Chaldean while he enjoys his time after an early exit from I’m a Celebrity.
