Legendary jockey Frankie Dettori has announced his retirement from race riding – again.

The 54-year-old will conclude his career in the United States following Sunday’s Breeders’ Cup meeting, before heading to South America for several final rides, fulfilling a long-held personal ambition.

Racing.com will broadcast the Breeders’ Cup live from 5am AEST on Sunday.

“Following the Breeders’ Cup on Saturday, I will be retiring from race riding in the United States and concluding my career with a few rides in South America, something I’ve always wanted to do,” Dettori said.

“It has been an honour to compete at the highest level of this sport for over four decades. I’m deeply grateful to my family, the owners, trainers, stable staff and of course, the supporters who have made my career possible.”

Fans can follow and bet on international racing events like the Breeders’ Cup via Australia’s top betting sites.
