Italian jockey Frankie Dettori, who has ridden more than 3,300 British winners and has 21 British Classic triumphs, said 2023 will be his final year in the saddle as he plans to retire after one last race at the Breeders' Cup.
The British-based 52-year-old, who has enjoyed a glittering career in the sport he has dominated for 35 seasons, said he took the difficult decision after speaking to his father -- fellow jockey Gianfranco -- and his family.
"I'll break the news now. It's something I've been thinking about for a while and what an appropriate day to tell the racing world that it is going to be my finale next year. "I'll be riding right through and it'll be my last Guineas, my last Derby, my last Royal Ascot and so on. Then I'll have the final farewell at the Breeders' Cup."
In 2016, he claimed his 3,000th winner to become the sixth jockey to reach that landmark in British Flat racing.
