Horse Racing Forum - USA Thoroughbred Races

I'm going to start our 2023 Retirement thread with the news that Frankie Dettori has announced that he will retire at the end of 2023.

I will really miss watching Frankie ride, and his exuberance.

Duke of Firenze has been retired at 14 following a 134-race career.

per his trainer David Griffiths:
"He could go to one of the racing colleges and teach the kids a few things, he's a bit of a handful on the gallops but he's good in the stalls and he's a name. Another option is becoming an equine therapy horse, going to hospitals and schools – he's so chilled out he could be good for that. Whatever happens, he'll always have a home here with us. He's given us some great days out and he deserves a good retirement."

Hot Rod Charlie to stud in Japan

That is an interesting purchase by Shadai. While HRC does not have turf credentials, Japanese breeders haven't felt that disqualifies a horse from being a successful stallion for their mostly-grass racing program. The success of American 'dirt' sires, from Sunday Silence to Drefong and Mind Your Biscuits, appears to show that they aren't wrong.
Good luck to 'Charlie.
