Frankie Dettori Has Ridden 81 Royal Ascot Winners
The famous Frankie Dettori ‘flying dismount’ is soon to be a celebration of the past as the popular Italian jockey is set to hang up his riding boots at the end of this season.
Therefore, the upcoming 2023 Royal Ascot fixture will be the last one for Frankie so can he go out with a bang at what has become his favourite track over the years. Don’t forget he also rode ALL seven winners at the track back on September 28th 1996, in a non-Royal Ascot fixture.
However, since his first winner in 199o, 52-year-old Dettori as ridden 81 (4 so far in 2023) Royal Ascot winner.
At this year’s meeting – Frankie has won the 2023 Queen’s Vase on Gregory (watch below) and took the Ascot Gold Cup for a ninth time with Courage Mon Ami.
He then added Friday’s Albany Stakes on Porta Fortuna, taking his tally at Royal Ascot 80 and fired in the Sandringham winner Coppice too – a race he’s now won 8 times. His Royal Ascot tally is now at 81.

The Ribblesdale Stakes & Gold Cup Have Been Frankie Best Royal Ascot Races
With 80 Royal Ascot winners between 1990 and 2023, then the spread of success across all the big races is vast.

However, it’s been the Ribblesdale Stakes and the Gold Cup that Frankie has enjoyed the most success in – winning each prize 8 times over the years, until he won the 2023 Gold Cup – taking his tally to 9 in this race.
He also won the 2023 Sandringham Stakes, which was his eighth win in this race.
