Frankie Dettori Net Worth Set To Increase After Cancelling Retirement Plans
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

53 year-old Frankie Dettori<\/strong> was due to retire at the end of 2023, having announced this year would be his last in the saddle.<\/p>\n

However, after a swansong campaign that saw him land many top horse races, he changed his mind.<\/p>\n

These wins included the Ascot Gold Cup and 2000 Guineas, which led to Dettori performing a famous retirement U-turn – deciding to carry on his career.<\/p>\n

This meant the Frankie Dettori net worth will continue rise over the coming years, with the rider basing himself in California in America as he looks to win some of their lucrative top races. Making it no secret that a first win in the Kentucky Derby is high up on his wish list.<\/p>\n

Despite this US switch, many horse racing<\/a> fans also felt Frankie Dettori would still be seen flying back to the UK and Europe to ride in some of the bigger races. However, during 2024 this has so far yet to happen.<\/p>\n

Dettori First Started Earning Money As A Jockey In 1987<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Becoming a jockey was in the Dettori blood as Frankie was the son of Italian champion rider Gianfranco Dettori and it was at the age of 14 that he fled his homeland to head to Newmarket in the UK.<\/p>\n

Working first as a stable lad, he went onto become apprentice and then stable jockey at the Luca Cumani stable, where he won the champion apprentice title in 1989. This came two years after riding his first UK winner at Goodwood as a 16 year-old.<\/p>\n

Frankie Dettori went onto become British champion jockey three times (1994, 1995 and 2004). Plus, has ridden over 280 Group One winners around the world and most-famously joined the new Godolphin ‘boys in blue’<\/em> operation in 1994 as their main rider.<\/p>\n

He went onto ride for the Sheikh Mohammed-led Godolphin team for 18 years, riding many big stars for them which included Dubai Millennium, Swain, Daylami, and Classic Cliche.<\/p>\n

At the end of 2024 Frankie Dettori was also involved in a tax avoidance scheme dispute<\/a> with the HMRC.<\/p>\n
