Frankie Dettori has called time on his legendary racing career with a successful evening in Brazil - less than a year on from his bankruptcy that left him unable to pay a £750,000 tax bill. Dettori, 55, is estimated to have earned up to £20million from racing alone during his career. For his health and well-being, ending this winter, after a couple of rides in South America, is right. His career came to an end in Brazil on Sunday night, where he rode Bet You Can to victory to win the Grande Premio Estado do Rio De Janeiro in Brazil. Now that he has closed the door on his 35-year racing career, he will stay in the sport, taking a full-time position as global brand ambassador for Amo Racing, the venture of football agent Kia Joorabchian.
