For those that dont know, Frankie Dettori is a jockey who won 7 races out of 7 at Ascot 10 years ago. He reportedly cost the bookies about a £100 million.

I don't think so. I'm not a Frankie fan, but even I have to admit that he had an amazing day back then - can't quite believe it's been 10 years!
If you want to read an interesting article, have a look at the link below. It lists the seven horses and where they are now.

OMG is that really ten years ago........... it was some achievement, I was at the time very suspicious about the last winner Fujiyama crest (or similar) he was heavily backed from 16 's into 7's.

don't you think it should have been "splendiferious seven" or even "sensational seven" so it could have went with "fabulous five"??
