Frankie Dettori will try to turn his farewell year into a golden goodbye in Saudi Arabia on Saturday where victory in the world’s richest horse race would net him a windfall of more than £800,000.
The Italian rides Country Grammer in the £16 million Saudi Cup, the US-trained horse on whom he captured last year’s Dubai World Cup.
He has interrupted a successful winter stint in California to partner the Bob Baffert-trained horse in one of the few international races he has yet to win.
