Frankie Dettori, who will be riding in the Derby at Epsom for the last time on Saturday, has said he hopes “this beautiful event” will not be affected by protesters from the animal rights group Animal Rising.
Speaking on BBC One’s Breakfast programme, the jockey said: “Most of the people in racing, we actually do it because we love the animals,” adding: “I don’t really follow the politics, a lot of people have got issues about a lot of things in this day and age.
