| The charismatic Italian, currently in the UAE preparing for the world’s richest horse race, the Dubai World Cup, could not resist hanging up his silks for the day to take the wheel alongside reigning World Champion, Jean Marc Sanchez at Dubai International Marine Club (DIMC). And despite admitting his boating experience amounted to “taking one up and down the Thames”, Dettori’s ability impressed the watching seven-time Class One world champions as he |
hit speeds of up to 147mph over the waters of the Arabian Gulf. “Absolutely brilliant,” said a beaming Dettori, following his first experience with Victory Team’s own special brand of horse power. “I’ve been coming to Dubai for the past 14 years and seen these boats in action and I’ve always wanted to take on the challenge. You don’t get the chance to drive a boat like this very often so I was very excited to be given the opportunity.” |
