Terrific Frankie!

You've got to laugh at those on here saying when he first came back and was scratching around for rides at the gaff tracks that he was gone at the game and over the hill.

Have I mentioned before it's more about the horses than the jockeys and if you don't get on the better ones you tend not to win the better races? And what's that saying again about form and class?

William Buick must be feeling sick too.

TBF, anyone would have won on that.

anyone who rode the same race would have won but how ever you think a horse will find a finishing burst, it takes courage to sit that far back.

So pleased for him and Mr Gosden, Great horse as well!

Frankie

great character, what a contrast to that miserable git Moore.

Frankie on top of the world

hes going a bit over the top ffs

Exactly, brilliant for racing!

Best result for the race well done backers

Frankies entitled to go a bit potty! Pressure cooker lid now off! Love the guy!

Not bad

is he heck going over the top bet he thought hed never won another derby  get in Frankie

I'm really happy for Frankie.

He's entitled to be a bit over the top.

He looks like he may get called in for a pee test to me.

I just love this game. What a great sport it is. Top performance by the first and second

To put the importance of the race in perspective, Gosden won more prize money for first and second there than all of his other wins and places this year. Now very short odds to be champion trainer.

TBF, anyone would have won on that.

Which kind of proves that it's more about the horses than the jockeys.

I've never really liked him as he's far too cocky and conceited but it would be churlish to not give credit where it's due, when he was and still is a top class jockey who once again has landed on his feet when a decent job offer came along and when Buick took the Godolphin job.

C4; "Frankie has come though adversity,personal problems etc".

Why can't they just say he's a proven coke head with 15 years between each incident,PC gone mad.

agree with Try My Best, did n't back the winner but really enjoyed the race as a spectacle and thought Golden Horn was absolutely sensational.

ffs daft as fck

what's celebrity big brother got to do with anything?

that Nottingham maiden last October worked out well...

15 minutes more like
think the patrician Oppenheimer was somewhat discombobulated by his 'effervescence' in the winners enclosure

Frankie lifting the sport and Golden Horn very good but how bad were the rest a very poor year in my opinion.

Interesting that the moderate maiden, Carbon Dating, beat quite a few home and was not beaten that far by the third.

most derbys latterly are not deep in quality but THAT is a damn good horse

and Nashwan beat a 500/1 shot in the Derby. Does that make him over-rated?

First 2 are probably of a good standard but the rest were not up to much. However, the winner is by Cape Cross like Sea The Stars was and he may also remain unbeaten.

fantastic ride by frankie

Ima, the thread is about Frankie not you or what you said umpteen months ago. Take a day off from the attention seeking.

Well Done Frankie!

Of course it is jamesdean, just as it was about Frankie when plenty were saying those umpteen months ago that he was gone at the game because he was riding poor horses.

Maybe your aim should be at those er, attention seekers who can't wait to jump on here and start a thread to slate jockeys as soon as they get beaten on one, purely because they don't seem to get that if the horse isn't good enough and they are riding a poor one, then it's probably not going to win and make that jockey look a world beater.

Just a thought eh?

Class A  performance from wide eyed Fankie.

clever angel ,but i think it's good for the sport ,and i loved the way frankie acted ,it show's how much it meant to him .I agree he must of taught he would never win another and he all so said he hadn't had a ride in the race in four years .From back page to front page new's takes to frankie

i think boycie want to marry him
get a grip.......

was a top class horse he was riding
prefer moore myself

Much prefer Frankie ,just for the public profile.Moore in the same situation would probably mourn not winning the Oaks as well,
brilliant jockey though he is ,he really does little to elevate the sport from the racing pages.

Moore in the same situation would have focused on the performance/talent of the horse during the interview.
Frankie basically performed fallacio to himself and the camera.
Fair play if you can get yourself into tat position

Any way, this horse has a Sea the Stars about him. No 2000G but lets see him meet that lot in the Eclipse.

I agree with ima_mazed66

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.

So do i.

That was in agreement with Facts.

howellsy

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.
