Back The Frankie Dettori Oaks/Derby Double at 20/1
Frankie Dettori is certainly no stranger to grabbing the headlines and having announced his retirement at the end of this season the 52 year-old jockey will be in action for this last time this term.
Therefore, he’ll be riding in the Epsom Oaks and Derby this week for the final times, but with two decent chances – can the popular pilot land both races?
Dettori has also started this swansong season well when taking the English 2000 Guineas at Newmarket in early May and he’ll be wanting to go out on a high at Epsom. He’s landed the Oaks five times over the years, with the first coming way back in 1994 with Balanchine. While Frankie has taken the Epsom Derby twice with Authorized (2008) and more recently in 2015 with Golden Horn.

Frankie Dettori Rides Soul Sister In The Epsom Oaks
The John Gosden-trained Soul Sister @ 5/2 with BetUK will be the mount of Frankie Dettori in Friday’s Epsom Oaks. This 3 year-old improved last time out to win the Musidora Stakes at York (watch below) and is the general second favourite in the race behind the Aidan O’Brien runner Savethelastdance.
Soul Sister has only had three career runs now, but has won two of those, with her only blip coming over 7f on softer ground. She clearly handles a quicker surface better and this well-bred Frankel filly looks the sort to improve further now upped again in trip to 1m4f.
We could easily be seeing another famous Frankie ‘flying dismount’ come 4:40pm on Friday here and set up the Oaks/Derby Double.

Frankie Dettori Rides Arrest In The Epsom Derby
If Frankie can take Friday’s Oaks, you feel the price on his Epsom Derby mount Arrest will shorten – he’s currently @ 5/1 with BetUK. This is another ride for John Gosden and after impressing to win the Chester Vase last time (watch below) will certainly head into the fourth English Classic with a big chance.
He took that Chester race by 6 1/2 lengths and with the race over 1m4 1/2f we know he’s going to stay the Derby trip. Arrest has also won a variety of different ground so conditions will be fine and being another Frankel-bred horse, we could also be seeing a double of a different kind. The mighty Frankel also sired the 2021 Epsom Derby winner Adayar.
The last horse to win both the Chester Vase and Epsom Derby was Ruler Of The World in 2013.
