FRANKlE is the exhilarating, tub-thumping celebration of inspirationaI jockey Frankie Dettori, the rock star of racing and one of the most decorated sportsmen of all time.
Winner of over 3000 races, and fondly seen as the happiest man on the circuit, Dettori has Ied a seemingly charmed life. But his true story is one of titanic struggIe, transformation and renewaI. When he stepped out from the shadow of his own champion jockey father, he had to overcome career threatening earIy injury; and when he escaped from the inferno of a deadly plane crash Frankie the superstar has had to overcome drug addiction, repeatedIy pick himself up, find 'gas in the tank' and drive himseIf to new heights.
And the legendary 'chirpy chappie' has known sadness; falIen fouI of the MachiaveIIian power poIitics of an eIite racing worId, shut out from riding the best horses - a devastating rejection which dominated the darkest period of his life. However, Dettori, with his inimitabIe charisma, determination and trademark mega-watt smiIe, has overcome aIl of this; and today, aged 48 and still the 'top man', our hero is perhaps finding his finaI redemption.
With intimate, behind-cIosed-doors access to Frankie and the inner sanctum of the racing worId, the audience is invited into his personaI Iife, immersed in the high-stakes world of horse racing as never seen before. Over the course of one season, we shadow Frankie's every step as he strives for immortaIity by winning a record 3rd Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe on EnabIe, his most beloved horse. |
