About this deal

Jamie Vardy PUNCHES HIMSELF in the face in frustration after missing a sitter in Leicester's game with Watford... before the striker redeems himself Despite his slight size, Frankie’s impact upon the British racing scene was immediate and significant. Brimming with confidence, charisma and personality, and with what was clearly a precocious talent, in 1990 he became the first teenager since Lester Piggot to win over 100 races in a single season. By 1996, Frankie was already established as a celebrity in the sport and an adopted national treasure, but it was his extraordinary achievement of winning all seven races in a single day at Ascot that cemented his reputation as the greatest rider of his generation. Alejandro Garnacho makes young Man United fan cry after gifting him the boots he wore for that stunning...

I tell him I liked the book. “Did you?” He looks pleased. “I haven’t read it. Is it good?” The book is ghosted by Boris Starling. “It’s not boring, is it?” he asks, anxiously. For Dettori, nothing is worse than boring. I tell him about what Catherine said about his gravestone. He laughs. “She says I’ve got the concentration span of a flea. ‘I’m not waiting!’” He giggles. “That’s it. OK, What else d’you want to know?”

I ask Catherine if she has read it. She gives me a look. “Erm, no. Is it good?” Why would she read it, she asks. “I know the story. Anything I don’t know, he’s telling lies or has forgotten.” So, Frankie in a nutshell, she says – easily bored, impatient, crotchety. It’s obvious that she adores him. “On his gravestone, they’re going to put: ‘I’m not waiting.’ This all started when we went skiing. We’d get to the top of the slopes and the kids were snowboarding and he’d say: ‘I’m not waiting.’ He gets so bored.”

Dettori didn't enjoy his finest hour on the French horse at Leopardstown recently but may get the chance to atone. But at the same time, the simple fact that all of Dettori’s opening-day rides are odds-against is a reminder that while Cheltenham in March has overtaken Royal Ascot as the biggest meeting of the year from a betting perspective, these five days in June still offer the best and most competitive British Flat racing of the season. Inspiral ran away with the Coronation Stakes 12 months ago but is not even sure to start favourite for the Queen Anne, while Chaldean, Dettori’s fourth and final 2,000 Guineas winner at Newmarket in May, is only narrowly preferred to Paddington, who took the Irish equivalent, in the betting for the St James’s Palace Stakes. Former Premier League hotshot trains with Robbie Savage's seventh-tier non-league team - and they could sign him up as a free agent at the age of 38
