A FABRE Chantilly France
"Andre Fabre was born on the 9th of December 1945 in France. He has a law degree but made the decision to follow a career in horse racing instead. He started out as a groom and then a schooling rider. He emerged as France's top jump jockey when he won in excess of 250 races.

He then changed direction and decided to train thoroughbreds instead and soon proved to be even better at training than at riding. He started out training jump horses and has moved on to flat racers. In this regard his career path was very similar to another one of Europe's great trainers, Aidan O'Brien."

Andre Fabre's exceptional record rivals any trainer in the world.

On this unique estate covering 1,900 hectares, the elite of the horse racing world has the use of 120 hectares of flat tracks, 120 km of sand and dirt tracks and a hundred-odd jumps. "





ROYAL ASCOT INFO 2012




Simon Crisford speaking for Godolphin  about the recent engagement of two further handler riders to join up within Godolphin's  bloodhorse literacy zone,  says "the main reason for bringing in the two younger men was an increase in the number of Godolphin runners.

"I think we're having more runners than ever before. We've certainly got more horses. We've got two trainers approaching maximum numbers, 350 horses between them, much more than when it was just Saeed [bin Suroor] on his own."

"It is not the case that Dettori is being prepared for imminent retirement. "He's got plenty of years left in him," Crisford says. "I know he's said publicly that he wants to keep going for at least another five years. So long as he's healthy and fit, I don't see why he wouldn't continue riding for us. And in five or 10 years' time these other jockeys will have gained some of the experience that Frankie's got.

"It's working out well at the moment and I don't think we've had any complaints. We are a big stable, a little short on quality just now but quantity is not an issue."

Ray Cochrane, who is agent to both Dettori and Barzalona, says the Italian has made no hint to him about being unhappy with the new regime and reports that the two are "pals". He explains another dynamic behind who gets which rides.

"Frankie goes where Frankie wants," Cochrane says. "You take Monday, a horse we run at Redcar is possibly a lot better than what we'll run at Leicester but there's no point asking Frankie to go to Redcar.

"He'll tell me, 'I'm not driving up and back again to ride something that's probably going to be fourth.' He'd rather stay closer to home and his family. So Mickaël will ride at Redcar, Frankie will ride at Leicester and people may think, 'Oh, Mickaël's on the better horses. But that's not what's happening.'"
