Despite his slight size, Frankie’s impact upon the British racing scene was immediate and significant. Brimming with confidence, charisma and personality, and with what was clearly a precocious talent, in 1990 he became the first teenager since Lester Piggot to win over 100 races in a single season. By 1996, Frankie was already established as a celebrity in the sport and an adopted national treasure, but it was his extraordinary achievement of winning all seven races in a single day at Ascot that cemented his reputation as the greatest rider of his generation.

I forgot it was not Frankie talking! A very good fit for this book indeed. Now, for the very first time, Frankie compellingly reveals the lows to his highs; the plane crash that nearly killed him, the drugs ban that nearly made him quit the sport, and the acrimonious split from Godolphin that threatened his future. But Leap of Faith is also a story of love – for the sport he continues to dominate to this day, the great horses of his era (Stradivarius, Golden Horn, and of course Enable), and most importantly for his family, who have supported him every step of the way.

Frankie tells his story with his usual flair and he tells it well. It was interesting to hear his side of some notable events that he was involved in, from fatal plane crashes to a drug ban to riding those big races. It feels like he is telling you his stories to your face. It did not feel like a book and considering that this is Frankie Dettori, that is fine by me. What endeared me to him the most is how much he clearly loves the sport and the horses themselves.
