Frankie Dettori has paid tribute to one of his favourite horses, the hugely popular grey Daylami, who has died at the age of 29.
Daylami, one of the early Godolphin superstars, won seven Group 1 races around the world with Dettori aboard for five of them, including the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and Breeders’ Cup Turf in 1999.
“Daylami’s arrival at Godolphin coincided with some of my greatest days with the team,” said Dettori. “He was such an honest horse and a great pleasure to ride.”
