CRUSH OF THE WEEK... Ella Dettori
ELLA DETTORI, who is following in the hoof-steps of her jockey dad Frankie, charmed me at the Qatar box at Glorious Goodwood last week. In her first-ever race,
Ella, 19, rode Green Door in the all-female Magnolia Cup in aid of Smart Works, but sadly didn’t win this time. Speaking of the expectations that come with her name, she joked: ‘My father has five children but I’m the only one short enough to be a jockey – so all the pressure is on me!’ Frankie, still racing at 50 and pictured, right, at Goodwood with Ella, added: ‘I was nervous as I feel so protective of her, but I was very proud.’
