Frankie Dettori wins Epsom Derby on favourite Golden Horn - BBC Sport BBC Sport Frankie Dettori wins Epsom Derby on favourite Golden Horn By Frank Keogh From the section Horse Racing Share this page Read more about sharing. Dettori led favourite Golden Horn to victory by three-and-a-half lengths Frankie Dettori capped his renaissance with a thrilling victory on favourite Golden Horn to win the 236th running of the Derby at Epsom. Dettori produced an ice-cool ride on the 13-8 favourite to beat his John Gosden-trained stablemate Jack Hobbs by three-and-a-half lengths, with Storm The Stars third. The 44-year-old jockey punched the air as he passed the line and did a trademark flying dismount in the winner's enclosure. "It was unbelievable. The horse was brilliant," said Dettori, riding for the first time in the race since returning from a six-month drugs ban two years ago. In his 20th Derby ride, it was a second victory in the race for the Italian-born rider, who triumphed for the first time at the 15th attempt on Authorized in 2007.

Dettori pushed Golden Horn clear of the challenge from Jack Hobbs in the final furlong He bided his time before pouncing in the final furlong to deny Jack Hobbs, ridden by William Buick, who was running in the colours of Dettori's former long-time employers Godolphin. "Where do I start? What an unbelievable day," Dettori told BBC Radio 5 live. "I was excited at the big job ahead of me, but it all went like clockwork from start to finish. "When you're young, you don't really appreciate the full importance of this Derby, so it means a great deal to win it for a second time. "I've had a colourful life, but I'm not finished." Racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght's verdict: "Of course Dettori will grab most of the Derby headlines, but this was a highly significant result for all concerned. "Golden Horn retains his unbeaten record brilliantly, so confirming the form of the Dante Stakes in which Jack Hobbs was also runner-up. "It's all spectacularly vindicated Anthony Oppenheimer's decision to pay for the late entry, and his colt's stamina lasted every inch.

"And to saddle two Derby runners, as Gosden did, and to finish first and second is nothing short of magnificent." Hans Holbein and Elm Park had battled for the lead early on, before the former stepped up the pace, but it was Jack Hobbs - named after the former England and Surrey cricketer - who hit the front as the race unfolded. Dettori had to find room wide and the question was whether his horse would see out the demanding mile-and-a-half trip. The answer was very much in the affirmative as he powered clear for a dominant victory to spark emotional scenes. The 44-year-old dismounted the 13-8 favourite with his trademark leap from the saddle Dettori had not ridden in the race since 2011 and had been written off by some observers when he initially struggled to regain his form after a split from Sheikh Mohammed's Godolphin team and a positive test for cocaine. But the three-time champion jockey has been rejuvenated recently and found a highly-talented partner in the unbeaten Golden Horn.

Owner Anthony Oppenheimer had risked a £75,000 supplementary fee to add the horse as a late addition to the Derby field, and landed the first prize of more than £800,000. The result was a mirror image of the Dante Stakes at York in May, where Golden Horn had beaten Jack Hobbs, although Dettori was on the runner-up and Buick the winner that day. Buick was switched to Jack Hobbs after Godolphin bought a share in the colt.

Dettori described the victory as "unbelievable" following his first Derby success in 2007 It was the first time since 2011 the two-time Derby winner Dettori had ridden in the race Share this page Frankie Dettori | Horse Racing Jockey Profile, Bio and Stats £201,058: H.H The Emir’s Trophy (Local Group 1) (3yo+) (Turf) – Feb 26, 2015 £331,325: Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (Grade 1) (2yo Colts & Geldings) (Turf) – Oct 31, 2014 £168,199: Tattersalls Millions 2YO Fillies’ Trophy (Bobis Race) – Oct 4, 2015 About Frankie Dettori Probably the best known jockey in European racing to the non-racing public, Frankie Dettori (born Lanfranco Dettori in 1970), is one of the greatest jockeys of the modern era, a high-profile television celebrity, but a man whose fall from grace in 20

12 will forever blight his stunning career in the saddle.

Good looking, witty, a natty dresser, and a slick media operator, Dettori hit the headlines in his late-teens when moving from his native Italy to Newmarket in England and became the first teenager to ride more than 100 winners in a season when clocking up a remarkable 143 successes in 1989. A few years later he signed a deal with Sheikh Mohammed of Dubai to be his retained rider and the partnership flourished for 19 years during which time they took the racing world by storm with a host of top-class race victories in Europe, the United States, the Middle East and the Far East. Dettori is a beautifully balanced, elegant rider, but is also strong in a finish when necessary and was crowned British champion jockey in 1994, 1995, and 2004; in ’94 he clocked up a personal best 231 winners in a season. In 2000, at the height of his powers, the Italian miraculously survived a fatal plane crash when the light aircraft he and fellow jockey Ray Cochrane were travelling in crashed immediately after take-off at Newmarket.

Both sustained injuries but survived, but their pilot lost his life. Dettori’s first British classic winner came in 1994 when he partnered Balanchine to victory in the Epsom Oaks before going on to a famous success when the great filly beat the colts in that year’s Irish Derby at the Curragh. He has gone on to register a total of 14 British classic wins, including partnering the Peter Chapple-Hyam-trained Authorized to victory in the 2007 Epsom Derby. He has ridden a total of seven Irish classic winners, many top-class French winners – including three times in the world’s best middle-distance race the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp in Paris – and many more across the globe. Famous for his flying dismount after winning top races, Dettori’s long association with Sheikh Mohammed came to an abrupt halt in 2012 when he was replaced as first choice jockey by Mickael Barzalona.

Soon after –reportedly suffering from depression – he failed a drugs test and was banned from riding for six months, but has returned over the last 12 months to try and re-establish his reputation and is now the contracted rider to a top Qatari owner. Frankie Dettori explains in this interview his cocaine abuse at that time: More than anything else, Dettori is best known for one remarkable afternoon at Ascot in 1996 when he became the first jockey in history to ride all seven winners on the card at the showcase fixture. The losses sustained by the betting industry that day reportedly ran into tens of millions of pounds and ensured his legendary status. It is well worth noting that over the last 5 years 43-year-old Dettori has a particularly good strike-rate at Beverley (57%), Wolverhampton all-weather (36%), Lingfield all-weather (30%), Kempton all-weather (26%), and Nottingham (26%). Having ridden so many horses prior to the end of 2012 for Sheikh Mohammed’s Godolphin team, Dettori is now rebuilding ties with other stables.

Those to have used his services with noted success include William Haggas (25%), Richard Hannon (25%), George Baker (24%), and Jeremy Noseda (22%) [1] .

Frankie Dettori on Golden Horn Frankie Dettori will ride the favourite Golden Horn as he bids to win the 236th running of the Derby at Epsom. A crowd of more than 100,000 is expected at the Surrey track for flat racing's premier Classic race. Dettori, 44, returned from a six-month drugs ban at the meeting two years ago but this will be his first ride in the big race since 2011. Rivals in a 12-strong field for the mile-and-a-half contest include Jack Hobbs, Giovanni Canaletto and Elm Park. Epsom racegoers enjoyed the sunshine on Friday What's the weather/going?

Epsom was bathed in sunshine on Friday for Ladies' Day and more of the same is expected for Derby Day. Temperatures are likely to top 20C, with the going officially described as Good to Firm. Clerk of the course Andrew Cooper said: "The risk of thunderstorms has passed and it should be a dry day, and feel fresher." That is good news for punters on the open-top double-decker buses which traditionally line the rail of the racecourse. Who's lining up?

Jack Hobbs, 2. Hans Holbein, 3. Storm The Stars.There are doubts about the stamina of Golden Horn, about ground conditions for Elm Park and Success Days and about being beaten and looking awkward just 13 days ago for Giovanni Canaletto.Jack Hobbs is sure to stay and the going should be fine; Hans Holbein really caught the eye with his wide-margin Chester success when Storm the Stars was third before subsequently winning in decent style. The Dettori story Dettori will look to complete the latest chapter in a rollercoaster career by winning the Derby for a second time. He triumphed at the 15th attempt on Authorized in 2007. The Italian-born rider made headlines around the world in 1996 when he rode his 'Magnificent Seven' at Ascot - all the winners at one meeting at combined odds of more than 25,000-1. Four years later he survived a light aircraft crash in which the pilot died, and has gone on to triumph in more than 200 Group One races at the highest level.

He enjoyed a highly successful partnership with Sheikh Mohammed's Godolphin racing team for 18 years but he left in 2013 and was later given a six-month ban after testing positive for cocaine. Joseph O'Brien won the 2014 Epsom Derby aboard Australia What's it like at the Derby? Derby Day is a unique British sporting occasion, with crowds packing the infield of the course, where there are bookmakers, funfair rides, a large contingent of travellers and even a Big Top. The course itself is like a rollercoaster ride - the runners climbing up a steep incline before they sweep around Tattenham Corner and into the home straight, with undulations throughout the track. On the other side of the infield are the main stands, including the Queen's Stand where male racegoers are required to wear Morning Dress. The Queen is once again expected to be in attendance, watching on with her binoculars from the Royal Box, taking in the vista of top hats and tails, swarms of punters and some high-quality thoroughbreds. All's well that ends well? Every year the predicted name of the Derby winner appears on a wishing well at the Amato Inn in Epsom.

The pub fields calls from around the world from people who want to know which runner has been chalked on the well, supposedly by a traveller who arrives in the dead of night. Zawraq was written on the well earlier in the week, but scrubbed off when declared a non-runner on Thursday and replaced by Giovanni Canaletto. Locals swear by the name on the Epsom wishing well So how successful is this method of finding the winner? At one stage in recent memory, it was said to have been correct eight times in 12 years, but punters should be warned - it last came up trumps in 2009 with Sea The Stars.

Goodnight! 17.15 Some words from the defeated jockey of Jack Hobbs now, William Buick: I'm very proud of (Jack Hobbs). It's all come very quick for him and he'll be a lovely horse in time. He ran a great race and they are two lovely horses, the first and second. On the day the winner was just better. I knew when I pressed the button Frankie would be on my tail. It was a smooth race to ride in, he came there with a good chance and he ran his heart out. You'd have to look forward to him for the rest of his career. I'm very happy for John Gosden, it's an unbelievable feat and I'm far from disappointed to be second." And another few words from the winning man.

listen to ‘Dettori's Cheered On In Winning Enclosure #Investec Derby’ on audioBoom 17.07 Well some people who definitely aren't happy at Frankie Dettori's success are the nation's bookmakers, who can expect to have lost a fair bit of money on the race favourite this afternoon. Already, an industry wide multi million pound payout is expected as a result of Golden Horn's success. Some of the bookies had this to say: Frankie punished us in 2007 when Authorized won and it was every bit as a bad a Derby Day result this year with the second-favourite chasing home the winner. Golden Horn only entered the ante-post picture relatively late so little damage was done there but we're clutching at straws. It was a tough day. David Williams, Ladbrokes. Frankie is the only jockey the whole world and his dog knows and his win means the bookies have done their absolute conkers with a payout in the tens of millions. Paddy Power. Frankie has single-handedly smashed the bookies for millions of pounds. The public love Frankie and we'll be counting the cost of Dettori's Derby for some time.

Frankie Dettori really is the bane of bookmakers. Jon Ivan-Duke, William Hill. 17.05 — Último Furlong (@Ultimo_Furlong) June 6, 2015 A mighty perfomance from JACK HOBBS as well and here he is getting a well-deserved cool down #InvestecDerby pic.twitter.com/YwHvjGoEX3 — Champions Series (@ChampionsSeries) June 6, 2015 17.00 More from the Derby winner, Frankie Dettori: I cannot believe that I have won the Derby again, what a thrill. Golden Horn is an unbeaten horse that has just won the Derby, and they don't get much better than that. I am pleased for John (Gosden, Golden Horn's trainer). He's won the Derby without me, and I've won the race without him, and it's nice that twenty years later we can win it together. I hope my family are watching, I've done it for them and they are inspirational for me. John is an old time gentleman with a heart of gold, who used to be like a father figure and is now a great friend.

16.50 That was a thrilling race, and any doubts about Golden Horn's stamina have been comprehensively dispelled, as Dettori kept the favourite at the back of the field for much of the race, before he made a move on the outside and quickened clear of Jack Hobbs. That's Dettori's second Derby victory, after winning the race in 2007 on Authorized. 16.45 A fairly breathless Dettori has just had this to say to Channel 4: Fantastic! I can't believe it. A brilliant feeling, I have to pinch myself. And the owner of Golden Horn, Anthony Oppenheimer, is similarly thrilled. It's such a thrill, I can't believe it. It's amazing.

It's a brilliant feeling." pic.twitter.com/6oDvXWAXgN — Channel 4 Racing (@Channel4Racing) June 6, 2015 Congratulations to Frankie Dettori & Golden Horn #InvestecDerby pic.twitter.com/gJjNPCDELE — Ascot Racecourse (@Ascot) June 6, 2015 16.37 1 Golden Horn (Frankie Dettori) 13-8 2 Jack Hobbs (W Buick) 4-1 3 Storm The Stars (P Cosgrave) 16-1 4 Elm Park 9-1 CSF: 193.64 16.35 Golden Horn wins!

But, on Saturday at Epsom, Frankie Dettori wrote the most memorable chapter of his remarkable career as he drove Golden Horn to a brilliant three and a half length win in the Investec Derby. Almost 30 years since arriving from his native Italy, the most recognisable face in British racing, riding in his 20th Derby, completed a remarkable career comeback with the help of his old ally, John Gosden.

Back in 2013, after serving a six-month ban for testing positive for cocaine while riding in France, Dettori had returned to action at this meeting.

Three unplaced rides on Oaks day were a portent of what was to follow in subsequent weeks with his 18-year partnership with Sheik Mohammed also over in acrimonious fashion. RELATED ARTICLES 108 shares Days like this looked history, like his previous Derby win on Authorized in 2007. Unwanted, Dettori has admitted he came close to calling it quits, only to be rescued by a job offer from Qatari Sheik Joaan Al Thani, who let the rider off 10th-placed outsider Moheet to ride the 13-8 favourite. When then this spring he also took up a chance to return to work for Gosden, his mentor during the 1990s when he was going through another career trough, more opportunity started knocking again.

Jack Hobbs (left) came off second best losing by three-and-a-half-lengths to this year's winner Golden Horn It delivered on Epsom Downs as Dante Stakes winner Golden Horn, who made Dettori earn his fee, rounded Tattenham Corner third last of the 12 runners only to storm up a home straight which has been graced such galloping legends as Nijinsky, Mill Reef and Shergar. So impressive was Golden Horn’s finishing kick, he may one day be worthy of mention alongside them. He dispelled worries about his stamina for the mile and a half race and more than justified the decision of owner Anthony Oppenheimer to pay the £75,000 late entry fee on Monday. With the horse now worth millions, that now looks a very shrewd bet by Oppenheimer. But Saturday was all about Dettori. The irony of the outcome was that if Dettori had still been riding for Sheik Mohammed, he would have been on board runner-up Jack Hobbs, who carried his Godolphin silks. Dettori punched the air, milked the 125,000 crowd and, of course, produced his trademark flying dismount.

He also revealed he had received some calming words minute before heading to the parade ring from a Derby legend, nine-time winning jockey Lester Piggott. Dettori said: ‘The reassurance I got before the race was from Lester. He said ‘’ I wish I was on your horse. I replied, ‘’if you think that, it means I am on the right one.’’’ After Saturday's race, the Italian jockey joked that the victory was 'just as good' as sex ‘The last 50 yards I was in a shocked state. I could not believe I had won the Derby. I was going to say it was as good as sex but my wife Catherine would not be happy with me. ‘It is a huge race. As you get older you really start to understand the meaning and importance of it. I have had a colourful life and I have not finished.’ Paying tribute to Gosden’s part in his redemption, Dettori added: ‘He was my father figure 20 years ago. He gave me lots of advice and now he is more of a friend. ‘I have won the Derby without him, he has won it without me.

Finally we have done it together.’ Gosden said: ‘‘Frankie, by God, he rode a cool race and the horse saw trip out. He is a great friend and a phenomenal jockey. He has had wonderful highs and plenty of lows. He has a good five years left in him and I will squeeze everyone out of him.’ Dettori’s hopes looked in danger as Golden Horn failed to settle early in the race, a fate also suffered by Andrea Atzeni on Andrew Balding’s Elm Park, who burned himself out up front and faded to finish 11th. Aidan O’Brien’s Hans Holbein (seventh) pressed the accelerator early to try to make his stamina count but was a sitting duck in the home straight. Giovanni Canaletto (fourth) was the best of Aidan O’Brien’s three runners. It was there that Buick made what initially looked a race winning move followed by the improving William Haggas-trained Storm The Stars, who finished eight lengths third under jockey Pat Cosgrave. Despite, being so far back, Dettori was not worried. He said: ‘John said to me ‘’ we are a little long in the tooth, don’t get excited.

Get him relaxed and finishing.’ Golden Horn could now drop back to a mile and a quarter for the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown next month with the Irish Derby on the cards for Jack Hobbs. The bookies, meanwhile, will be licking their wounds. They estimated the resurrection of racing’s favourite son has cost them £10million. Epsom Derby: Frankie Dettori likely to ride Golden Horn - BBC Sport BBC Sport Epsom Derby: Frankie Dettori likely to ride Golden Horn 23 May 2015 From the section Horse Racing Share this page Read more about sharing. Golden Horn (left) clocked up his third career win at York Frankie Dettori is relishing the prospect of riding in the Derby for the first time in four years after being lined up on favourite Golden Horn. The 44-year-old, who won on Authorized in 2007, is set to compete in the famous Classic for the 20th time on 6 June. Golden Horn - trained by John Gosden - was ridden to victory in the Dante Stakes at York by William Buick, but he may be aboard stablemate Jack Hobbs. "Of course I'm excited," said Dettori.

Owner Anthony Oppenheimer, who plans to pay a £75,000 fee to add Golden Horn to the Derby field, said Dettori is "very likely" to ride. "He was a good winner of the Dante and he's a worthy favourite for the Derby" said the jockey. "It brings back those memories of 2007 (Authorized's Derby success) when I didn't sleep for two weeks, so you can imagine how I feel right now."

The Peter Chapple-Hyam-trained colt hit the front two furlongs out and finished five lengths clear to give Dettori his first win in 15 attempts. "It was like the whole world was shouting over the last 100 yards," Dettori told BBC Sport. "I was full of emotion. I had to pinch myself." Eagle Mountain was second, with Aqualeem third out of the 17 runners.

He travels and you can do most things with him. "Frankie was probably a bit further back than I wanted him to be but Authorized has got so much class." Authorized went off as the 5-4 market leader, having shown he was a genuine contender for top honours with victory in the Dante Stakes at York. Dettori's popularity, coupled with the colt's form, meant money poured in for Authorized ahead of Saturday's race and bookmakers had predicted a ï¿½20m payout should the pair win. However, the last odds-on favourite to win the Derby was the legendary Shergar in 1981 and there were some early nerves for Authorized's backers as he sat well off the early pace set by Kid Mambo.

Authorized was 10th of the 17 runners as the field approached the descent to Tattenham Corner but he cruised through the field with two furlongs remaining and a few gentle reminders from his jockey put the race to bed.

Dettori, claiming the blue riband for the second time after Authorized in 2007, came from the back of the field to surge into the lead after the final turn, with Jack Hobbs (4-1) taking second, three and a half lengths in arrears.

The first two were trained by John Gosden, like Dettori also winning his second Derby after Benny The Dip in 1997. Storm The Stars (14-1), trained by William Haggas finished third, four and a half lengths back. With a question mark over his mount's stamina 44-year-old Dettori, the oldest jockey in the race, held Golden Horn up as Hans Holbein, trying to claim trainer Aidan O'Brien's fourth straight win in the Epsom classic, led the dozen runners round Tattenham Corner. William Buick got to work on Jack Hobbs and they briefly took command but Dettori was cruising up the outside, and once in front stayed on stoutly to land the famous spoils, Dettori waving his arm in jubilation. Dettori, relishing his resurgence after falling out with Sheikh Mohammed's Godolphin and a six months ban for cocaine use, said: "The horse was magnificent. He did win it by a long way in the end he flew at the end. "He hit a flat spot and I thought I can't get him going but then he flew.

Unbelievable - In the last 100 yards I couldn't believe I had won the Derby again. I have to pinch myself. "I can't get to the bottom of this horse and I couldn't pull him up at the end of the race. He is an unbeaten Derby winner - what more can you say?!" Gosden, only the third person to train the first two home in the Derby, reflected: "I thought Frankie dropped him out beautifully. He rode a cool race. "Jack Hobbs has run a blinder and all being well he can go to Ireland (Derby)," added the 64-year-old. Golden Horn shot to the top of the Derby's ante-post betting when claiming the main Derby prep, the Dante at York. Owner-breeder Anthony Oppenheimer had never regarded his colt as a Derby candidate due to doubts about the mile half and a half trip, and so had to pay a 75,000 pound supplementary fee to add him to the Epsom mix - money well spent as it turned out with his colt now worth tens of millions as a stallion. "Such a thrill - amazing, I can hardly believe it amazing," said Oppenheimer.

Buick said of Jack Hobbs: "I'm very proud of him. It's all come very quick for him and he'll be a lovely horse in time. "He ran a great race and they are two lovely horses, the first and second. On the day the winner was just better. "I knew when I pressed the button Frankie would be on my tail." In an intriguing twist, Dettori had ridden Jack Hobbs in the Dante, with Buick on Golden Horn. But after Dettori's former employers Godolphin had bought a controlling stake in Jack Hobbs and so claimed Buick, their new retained rider, for him, leaving the way clear for Dettori to taste Epsom glory again. Bookmakers make Golden Horn 6-4 favourite for the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown, and a best priced 8-1 to topple Treve, seeking a third straight win, in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp in October.
