Frankie Dettori has admitted he 'didn't want to end up' like Cristiano Ronaldo as the star jockey confirmed his retirement.
The rider, who has competed for 35 years and had more than 3,300 winners, will bow out in November 2023. He hinted that his final racecourse appearance would be at the Breeders Cup in California, one of the biggest international meetings.
Dettori toyed with the decision for some time, discussing it with his wife Catherine, five children and his father Gianfranco, 13-times champion in his native Italy.
