Two of the best ever! Both so intelligent, one so humble, one so flamboyant. Great to see Mike giving Arrogate his credit, that horse was a true powerhouse, a monster, even though my favourite will always be Shared Belief :) Dubai Millennium is easily the best horse Frankie rode, although its obvious he likes to stay focused on the present. And right now, Enable will forever be the horse he's most associated with. Her achievements are extraordinary. Surpassing both Winx and Zenyatta and every mare in living memory. If she wins the 3rd Arc, she'll be an immortal for centuries to come :)
Some personalities are known outside of the sport and often by nicknames or abbreviated names. Smith is known as "Big Money Mike" and Dettori is simply known as "Frankie".
😂😂You would expect Frankie to be able to speak good English, he's been riding in England since the late 80's. Also the comment about Mike & Frankie being the 2 greatest jockeys ever ? Without doubt Mike Smith is up there & so is Frankie who is the only jockey to sweep the lot at Ascot with 7 out of 7 & he's won everything to win. But he only won his 1st Derby on his 15th attempt & only has 2 Derby wins BUT he rides Longchamp like no other for a English jockey. The one jockey I have ahead of Frankie in England is Ryan Moore who can judge a race to near perfection. But Yeah Frankie is up there, only Lester Piggot, Pat Eddery, Ryan Moore & Steve (The Kid) Cauthen.
If you've got a horse running anywhere in the world in a multi-million dollar G1 race, it's gets no more talented or experienced than having Frankie Dettori or Mike Smith in the saddle for you.
