Dettori not ready to ride off into sunset

Legendary jockey plans to keep on racking up wins well into his 50s

LONDON－Frankie Dettori says instinct rather than a historic third Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe on Enable this year will be the decisive factor in telling him when to call time on his legendary riding career.

The 49-year-old Italian's flying dismounts, his unabashed display of emotions in victory or defeat and his association with Enable has given racing a much-needed high-profile superstar.

His resilience in also cheating death in a plane crash in 2000, and a failed drug test in 2012 has also earned widespread admiration. Of the latter episode, he says: "When you are cornered, you fight."
