Will the Gold Cup victor provide a fitting send-off at Glorious Goodwood for Frankie Dettori?

As the flat season of 2023 concludes, one of the most legendary jockeys will bid farewell to the racetrack.

With a legacy that few can equal, Frankie Dettori's illustrious career spans 287 Group 1 victories over 35 remarkable years. His accolades include 23 wins in the Classics and an impressive 80 at Royal Ascot, cementing his status as one of Britain's most celebrated jockeys.

Although September marks the end of this year's racing events, the 52-year-old jockey still has opportunities to add to his distinguished record with a few more significant wins, especially at Glorious Goodwood, where he may reunite with one of his standout horses of the season.

Have Courage, Mon Ami

Courage Mon Ami, a horse that brought Dettori his ninth and final Ascot Gold Cup victory this June, is favored at 5/2 in the betting odds for Glorious Goodwood. Focused on the Goodwood Cup, the market positions Courage Mon Ami as the frontrunner, with competitors like Coltrane (3/1), Gregory (10/3), and Subjectivist (11/2) following closely. This two-mile challenge has seen Dettori as the first past the post five times, famously riding Stradivarius in both 2019 and 2020. Having enjoyed a good history at Glorious Goodwood over three decades, Dettori will aim for another standout performance in 2023.

In hopes of recapturing past victories, Courage Mon Ami overcame both Coltrane and Subjectivist in a thrilling Gold Cup earlier this year. Dettori momentarily held back before making his decisive move, a strategy that could have backfired with Coltrane advancing smoothly. fond memories of the race Courage Mon Ami had plenty left to secure triumph for the renowned Dettori and John Gosden team.

Thriving on firmer ground, the horse had its inaugural win at Goodwood on solid turf conditions back in May.
