Frankie Dettori Ascot Gold Cup Ride: The Pocket Italian Will Get The Leg-up On Courage Mon Ami
Frankie Dettori and the Ascot Gold Cup have gone hand-in-hand over the years – the soon-to-be-retired jockey has won the race 8 times in the past but will be trying to make it nine this Thursday on what will be his final ride in the big Group One race at Royal Ascot.
He’ll be pinning his hopes on the unbeaten John and Thady Gosden colt COURAGE MON AMI but the bookmakers have taken no chances in recent days, shortening the Frankel gelding in from 10/1+ to around 6/1 in the betting with BetGoodwin.
You can also back the horse with BetGoodwin and should Frankie be beaten a nose or into second by a 50/1 shot – they will give you your stake back as a free bet (up to £50).

Courage Mon Ami Heads To The Gold Cup Unbeaten
Frankie Dettori’s Ascot Gold Cup ride – COURAGE MON AMI – is also yet to lose a race. He won on debut at Kempton on the AW by an easy 5 lengths to make an early name for himself (watch below) and followed that up with another facile success – this time at Newcastle, but again on the AW. Both these wins came in 2022
He returned at the end of May to win over 1m6f in a Goodwood handicap when upped in trip and despite being one of the least experienced of the 2023 Ascot Gold Cup runners, has the scope to improve more than others.
This Will Be the First Time Frankie Has Ridden Courage Mon Ami In A Race
You also have to feel a bit for jockey Robert Havlin as he’s been in the saddle on ALL three of Courage Mon Ami’s races to date. But the veteran jockey is making way for another older stateman here. Frankie, is sure to have ridden the horse at home though and in work, so won’t be a total stranger to him.
Havlin doesn’t have a ride in the Gold Cup 2023 as a result.
Frankie and Gosden Have Teamed-up To Win The Gold Cup Three Times
Another plus ahead of the chance of Frankie Dettori’s Ascot Gold Cup ride is that he’s teamed up with trainer John Gosden to win this day three feature THREE TIMES in the past.
The trio of Gold Cup success all came with the classy Stadivarius, who mopped up the prize three times between 2018 and 2020.

Frankie Dettori Has Won The Ascot Gold Cup Eight Times
In total, Frankie Dettori has won the Ascot Gold Cup an incredible 8 TIMES, with only Lester Piggott (11 wins) having more successes in the race in the modern era.
Dettori’s first Ascot Gold Cup wins came in 1992 and 1993 on a horse called Drum Taps and he added a third in 2000 with Godolphin’s top stayer Kayf Tara. More Godolphin success followed with Papineau (2004) and Colour Vision (2012), which then led to the three Stradivarius wins in 2018, 2019 and 2020.
Can Frankie bow out and win Gold at Ascot for a nineth time?
