Frankie Dettori issues huge career update amid Royal Ascot rumours after ’embarrassing’ bankruptcy downfall

    Dettori came close to a £6million win barely weeks after his ’embarrassing’ downfall – that saw him named at the centre of a tax avoidance scheme.

    He didn’t get his dream of a Kentucky Derby winner – the main reason he moved to the States.

    And rumours had been rife he could be the man to step in for Kieran Shoemark after he lost his job as No1 rider for father-son training duo John and Thady Gosden.

    Dettori was the main for John Gosden during his final years riding in Britain.

    They enjoyed huge success with the likes of Stradivarius and ‘mare in a million’ Enable.

    Punters thought Dettori could be the man to steer the likes of Field Of Gold to Royal Ascot success.

    Especially after Shoemark lost his role on the back of his runner-up finish on the grey in the 2000 Guineas.

    Dettori, 54, appeared to confirm his riding plans for the summer in a video posted from the racecourse.

    In the video captioned ‘A big kiss from @ChurchillDowns’, he said: “If you’re wondering, I’m still at Churchill Downs.

    “I’m planning to stay here for the rest of the spring and I’ll be spending the summer in Saratoga.

    “Kiss from Churchill Downs.”
