Frankie Dettori is unashamedly....Frankie Dettori. He is excitable and he is ebullient. This is part of the persona.
As for his post race performance yesterday, we don't know what has been happening behind the scenes, we don't know what pressures there have been on Gosden, or even Oppenheimer himself over the riding arrangements. We also don't know what people in the industry may have said to Dettori. All this is speculation, but what is not speculation is that while a good horse can win the Derby, the horse also needs a good jockey. As for the reference to BG etc, well what can one expect from the level of commentator we have today? |

In the interview with Clare Balding before the Derby he was talking about his plane crash. He mentioned how he thought he was going to die, how frightened he was, and how his friend Ray Cochrane had saved him. I was waiting for him to acknowledge the tragedy of the pilot's death, but he went on to say something like "it took me two years to get over that." It was Clare who had to mention the pilot.

I saw that interview and thought it was very poor of him not to mention the poor pilot. back to yesterday it was nice to see rider and connections enjoying winning the derby. |
