International star jockey Frankie Dettori said Friday he is making plans to ride regularly at Gulfstream Park during the Championship Meet and Europe’s winter break.
The charismatic 43-year-old native of Milan, Italy, who enjoyed an extremely successful longtime association with Godolphin, is currently under contract to Sheikh Joaan of Qatar. Dettori rode a few days at Saratoga this year at the request of trainer Wesley Ward, winning two of 11 races, while finishing second three times.
“Nothing is set in stone, but Wesley has asked me to come. I’d love to come. I have to talk to my boss, Sheikh Joaan. We have some horses in Qatar, but I’d love to come to Gulfstream by late January. I’d like to spend three months there, January, February, March. That is my plan,” the father of five said from his home in Newmarket, England during a Face Time interview while preparing a chicken, broccoli and sweet potato dinner for his children Friday evening.
Dettori, whose Breeders’ Cup mounts have won 10 races and more than $17 million, has developed a riding style that has translated to success in North America.
“I love it there. When I was a young boy, I spent four winters in California. That’s where I learned my style. I learned from the Bill Shoemakers, the (Chris) McCarrons, the Gary Stevenses,” Dettori said.
