Frankie Dettori was said to be ‘gutted’ after his job as John and Thady Gosden’s main jockey came to a dramatic end.
The future of 51-year-old Dettori had been the subject of intense speculation after he was not booked to ride any of three Gosden-trained runners at Newmarket on Saturday afternoon — including regular mounts Stowell and Sunray Major — despite riding the Ralph Beckett-trained Lezoo at the meeting.
That followed criticism of Dettori’s performance at Royal Ascot last week from John Gosden, particularly for his ride on Stradivarius who hit trouble in running and finished third in pursuit of a record-equalling fourth Gold Cup.
