Frankie and Godolphin part ways

imo, he is a big race jockey and has the skills to deliver big races. I dont think he is much of a "maiden at chepstow " kinda guy.

For me as a Big race jockey there are not many more i would have on horses ahead of him.

as a potential "championship" jockey he has no chance Richard Hughes is guarenteed that, barring injury for many years to come via the hannon connection.

that's why freelancing would be ideal, keep yourself in shape and take the pick in the bigger races....

I`m sure i heard he is going to ride for Pearl racing,they are owned by some geezer from qatar a think?

Getting reported that Frankie has provided a positive test in France,not sure what for...

Frankie Dettori faces a French horse racing inquiry after a "positive test" at French track Longchamp in September.
The jockey's solicitor, Christopher Stewart-Moore, said the inquiry, by France Galop, would begin next week.
In a statement, Stewart-Moore said: "As a consequence of a positive test at Longchamp on 16 September 2012, he will be the subject of an inquiry by the medical committee of France Galop."
The British-based Italian, 41, had four rides at Longchamp on that day.
The Sunday meet was a day of major trials for October's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe meeting.
Dettori rode Marco Botti's Joshua Tree to third in the Qatar Prix Foy, while the John Hammond-trained Sarah Lynx trailed home last in the Prix Vermeille.
He was then beaten by a head into second on Godolphin's Farhh in the Prix du Moulin and was third for his former employers on Willing Foe in the Prix Gladiateur.
France Galop have not commented on proceedings and in keeping with similar previous cases, they have not issued a statement before the hearing.
"Whatever the outcome, Dettori is such a huge name so there'll be much interest in this hearing next week," said BBC Radio 5 live racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght.
Last month, three-time champion jockey Dettori announced he is to split with Sheikh Mohammed's Godolphin operation after an 18-year association.
Dettori has won all five English Classics, including the Epsom Derby on Authorized in 2007, and France's prestigious Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe three times, on Lammtarra in 1995, Sakhee in 2001 and Marienbard the following year.
