Tylicki in everyone’s thoughts
Tylicki has suffered paralysis to the lower half of his body following a horror fall at Kempton last week and the racing community is coming together to support him and his family
FRANKIE DETTORI says he would swap all his Breeders' Cup wins to hear some good news about his stricken pal Freddy Tylicki.
The former champ booted home Queen's Trust to land the US festival's Filly & Mare Turf - his 12th Cup winner - on Saturday night.
But his thoughts immediately turned to Tylicki, paralysed in the lower half of his body after a horror fall at Kempton.
Dettori said: "In the immediate aftermath of the win I had time to reflect on my good fortune. I thought of my mate back home, Freddy, and how fickle this game can be.
"Breeders' Cup wins are among the most coveted prizes in the sport but I'd have gladly swapped them all to have heard things weren't as bad as they seem to be for Freddy. I'm reminded again how cruel this job can be and Freddy's news has really shaken me."
Dettori, writing in his blog for Ladbrokes, added: "The weighing room is ferociously competitive and I love that sense of battle but it's also where my best mates are.
