Frankie Dettori Statue Unveiling, Queen Camilla, Ascot, Berkshire, UK - 21 Oct 2023
Her Majesty Queen Camilla was at the unveiling of a statue of jockey Frankie Dettori at the QIPCO British Champions Day today at Ascot Recourse. The sculpture was designed by artist and sculptor Tristram Lewis. Frankie Dettori said "Ascot has been everything to me - my first Group 1 winner when I was 19 - it is where it all started and concludes with nine Gold Cups, seven King Georges, 81 winners at Royal Ascot and hopefully some victories today". "It's wonderful to be immortalised at such a great track, and to have your own statue while you are still alive, wow!". Today will be Frankie Dettori's last racing in the UK before he heads to the USA to continue his career there
