18 Feb 2016
The Investec Derby Festival has today announced the first of their 2016 Ambassadors, 2015 Investec Derby winner and Britain’s best-loved champion jockey, Frankie Dettori MBE.

Renowned as the world’s greatest flat race and one of the biggest social events in the British calendar, this year’s Derby Festival takes place on Friday 3 and Saturday 4 June and is estimated to attract over 125,000 visitors.
Frankie Dettori commented:
“The Investec Derby is the greatest flat race in the world. It’s the one every jockey wants to win, so to have achieved this twice is something I am very proud of. ” Reminiscing about last year’s Investec Derby he said; “Racing at Epsom Downs Racecourse on Derby Day is a unique feeling. In my 28 years of riding, that last furlong, I have never felt that kind of emotion.”
