Frankie Dettori's Top 20 Racehorses 

SpursFanCanada true... Wish they would've kept him in training

@@GeorgeFreeman55 heard somewhere that he was a really aggressive stallion too. Sounded like the racetrack was the best place for him

@@somersetfan1 Redheads are famously hot-headed

I thought Lammtarra was very special - one of the most impressive derby winners I ever saw, and what a great ride by the choirboy! I was there the day Balanchine won and backed him and got him to sign my card. Winning the Irish derby ... on a mare. Hasn't been done very often! That King George and some top horses in it too. Lochsong was a great mare. Great memories.

Genius that day👌

Sakhee was special on soft ground the way he won the arc wow what a performance

Lochsong was best sprinter I ever seen I loved mate

He was very very good..no doubt

Yeah was good but best ever? Wouldn't have got within 5 of Frankel.

In my opinion Dubai millennium was the best horse I ever seen then his son dubawi but best sprinter I ever seen was locksong

@@jamesbaker6834 I agree with you, as for the comment above about Frankel, I'm not so sure, I'd look at it this way, over 8 Furlongs Frankel probably wins, Over 10 furlongs Dubai Millennium destroys him.

@@Rab18-02 I agree 💯 Frankel would have been eating Dubai millenniums dust over mile 1/4 not a horse could have lived with him on Dubai world cup night he had group 1 winners crying for mercy at the two pole while Frankie never moved a muscle till one out

Didn't sakhee get injured in that race mate chipped is foot which made him retire after the Dubai world cup when street cry won it

Would have looked very ordinary 😂😂😂 Dubai Millennium would have ran her into the ground with Montjeu on his back 😂😂😂

To ran down Dubai millennium u need a sports car he was so quick

tiocfaidh ar la he's had his chances. Funny thing is all the slaughter jobs have been made by European jockeys and his have been the worst.

HES WON THE WORLDCUP AND ASCOT 7. STICK YOUR MELBOURNE CUPLOL

theres not a lot of money at Ascot

@@elmergantry1862 are you the same Elmer that posts on racenet??

Melbourne cup my arse ... at the end of the day when you take all the money away it's just a handicap

Only had one good ran that was in the Dubai world cup

No Ribot is

Agreed

@@cab6466 did you ever hear of a horse named "NEARCO"

@@hillaryilinsky1009 Do you know Ribot is voted as horse of the century in Italy?

@@cab6466 no i didn't know , but i'm not surprised. ribot was probably a better racehorse than nearco , although both never lost . but i'm sure even those at darby dan would say nearco was one of the greatest stallions ever. now that i'm thinking about that i have this book by richard stone reeves "classic lines" in one of my draws ,i'll have to dig it out . i believe he said that in the book. what i was surprised to read was that tesio said that one of his other horses not ribot or nearco was his best . iwas was looking up serafina or something like that and tesio's favorite was mentioned by name but i don't recall. the stallion might have been in the filly that just won the arc twice and the b. c. recently . i'll have to give some more thought. i'm sure i'll find it again.

Bit like the Aussie jockeys, Absolutely terrible riders, Who was clown who rode Black Caviar? Another clown is that Kerrin McEvoy, brought him over from Aus and had to kick his arse back down under as he was so bad, Now won his 3rd MC i believe, lol, truly shocking.

Luke Nolan rode Black Caviar who was injured in the run with muscle tears and bruising the only reason anything got near her, her cruising speed was better than most other horses sprints. (agree Nolan's no superstar) www.abc.net.au/news/2012-06-25/black-caviar-victorious-despite-injuries/4089658. Yeah McEvoy just won Godolphin's first cup (his 3rd), 4 is the record for a Jockey. He was a kid when he won in 2000 as an apprentice and it was only a year or two later they took him over there. I see Frankie D killed them in the recent Breeders Cup championships. McEvoy has more G1 wins but Detorri has a higher strike rate. There are different surfaces, racing styles, rules & regs, cultures etc which makes it hard for someone flying in and out for a meeting or 2 to adjust and dominate unless its someone who does it all the time. Some of the Irish Jockeys have been impressive in Australia as has Ryan Moore. I reckon our best measure up, many of the Aussie riders are very successful in Hong Kong and Singapore when based there full time. There's plenty of quality racing and prizemoney here & in Asia so no need to go elsewhere. Hugh Bowman was rated the best jockey in the Longines World ratings last year, primarily because of WINX the greatest G1 winning horse of all time (jointly, but not yet retired).

Odd... The man has won almost every huge race in the world yet he is a joke in Australia... Except for the late George Freeman nobody in Australia knows anything about horse racing...I am sure frankie a breeders cup multi classic winning jockey craves the approval of Bea Smith and whoever else your country has produced outside of the Jardine owned bradman

@@cosmicrooster65 Just a quick look tells me that Australia has 72 G1 races, England has 36, So that's to be expected, Just looking at those G1's in England i know 10 of those races have only become G1's in the last 10 years or so, When i was used to bet there were about around 23 G1 races. Take the Diamond Jubilee that Black Caviar won, It was a G3 race from 1971-1998, G2 from 98-02 before becoming a G1 race and yet it is arguably our most important G1 Sprint race despite only being in it's 16th year.

@@Spursrule1969 Alot of ours have been upgraded when they probably shouldnt be, there are alot of soft G1s. Even the Warwick Stakes (now Winx stakes) was G2 for years. There are also alot of 2 and 3yo G1s. The overall racing probably 10 furlongs up wards is vastly superior in the UK as is the breeding industry. Locally theres a bizarre greedy obsession with breeding sprinter milers.

Yes. The place down under has been the one he would probably never gain anything and become the only pity of his legendary career. Or his style would never meet Aussie's standard or have already break their rule? I once heard sb said he would only have been a working rider had he born and mainly work in Australia.

@@myfrobert Horses for courses and that goes for jockeys as well like Dettori.
