JDG: Legends podcast: Frankie Dettori, a devil of an angel
At a time when Formula 1 champions are becoming Netflix stars and footballers have their avatars on games consoles, there is one jockey whose life deserves to be brought to the screen. Lanfranco - aka Frankie - Dettori is not just the best thoroughbred rider in the world, he's a character in a film. He's got looks, he's got a face, he's a showman, he kisses oil kings, he jumps over his horse after a win, he's a living statue at Ascot racecourse, he makes millions, he lives between two planes, he's on reality shows in England, he drives women crazy and puts stars in children's eyes. He's a crack shot, he's really nice... and he's Italian.
