Amo Racing Names Dettori Ambassador

Frankie Dettori will not stray far from racing in his upcoming retirement as the legendary jockey has been announced as Amo Racing's global brand ambassador. The rider shocked Del Mar with news of his imminent retirement Oct. 29 ahead of the Breeders' Cup this weekend, and it emerged that he would be undertaking a new role with Amo Racing Oct. 30. Dettori enjoyed his most notable success for Kia Joorabchian's burgeoning ownership enterprise when successful in the 2023 Champion Stakes (G1) aboard King of Steel. He relocated to the United States, where he has been riding since, shortly after. In a statement released on social media, the jockey said: "I'm thrilled to be joining Amo Racing as their global brand ambassador. Kia and his team have huge passion and ambition for the sport, and it's exciting to be a part of their journey. "Riding King of Steel to victory on Champions Day was an unforgettable moment, and to now represent Amo Racing feels like a natural next step. I'm looking forward to being part of the team, growing with them, and helping to share our love of racing with fans around the world." Amo Racing will be represented by a strong team at this year's Breeders' Cup, with their retained rider David Egan set to partner Outfielder, Arizona Blaze (GB), Valiant Force, Hill Road, and Cathedral (GB). Joorabchian, principal of Amo Racing, said: "Frankie is a true icon of our sport, his presence, his personality, and his passion for racing are unmatched. We've shared some incredible moments together, and his enthusiasm perfectly reflects what Amo Racing stands for. Having Frankie represent us around the world is something we're extremely proud of."
