But Dettori was back to his best at the weekend where he won the Nashville Derby on board Wimbledon Hawkeye at Kentucky Downs.
After what has already been a tough year for the Italian, who was ‘saddened and embarrassed’ having to file bankruptcy in March, but he showed he still had the fire and desire to win in Kentucky.
It was a superb ride as Wimbledon Hawkeye quickened perfectly going forward but had to battle to the line with Burnham Square, winning by a head in a thrilling photo finish.
Dettori’s iconic celebration after winning on Wimbledon HawkeyeAnd he seemed in great spirits after winning, celebrating not only in his trademark jumping dismount, but also in Nashville style in celebration too.

And the day after winning £888k on the British-trained Wimbledon Hawkeye for James Owen, won another lucrative race at the meeting landing £469k on board Johnny’s Red Storm in the Juvenile Sprint Stakes.
