Hardback. Condición: New. Drawing on the unique resources of the Racing Post, the tale of one of the sport's most popular racehorses is told.

This tribute to hugely popular sportsman draws on the unique resources of the Racing Post to chronicle the Dettori career as never before. The son of a Milanese Classic-winning jockey has been Champion jockey on three occasions and has ridden such equine superstars as Dubai Millennium, Lochsong, Lammtarra, Daylami and his first Derby winner Authorized.

But Frankie has always bounced back, and his next flying dismount is never far away.…
