Frankie Dettori Sets Final U.S. Rides for Breeders' Cup at Del Mar

After two seasons in the U.S., the 54-year-old will take a brief South American farewell before moving into a global ambassador role with Amo Racing.

Overview

  • He is booked for five mounts across the two-day meeting—Aspect Island, Imaginationthelady, Khaadem, Wimbledon Hawkeye, and Argine—with the Mile ride on Argine reported as his last on U.S. soil.
  • Dettori has 15 Breeders’ Cup victories and will seek to add to that tally in his Del Mar farewell program.
  • Following Del Mar, he plans a short series of rides in South America to formally conclude a four-decade riding career.
  • This closes a two-year American chapter that began when he reversed a planned 2023 retirement and went on to rank among the top U.S. riders by prize-money.
  • Amo Racing announced Dettori as its global brand ambassador, outlining his next step in racing after he stops race riding.
