    He’s currently about 9/1 to win, which I think is far too short.

    Frankie instead of talking bollocks for a change had pig bollocks in his mouth in winning a challenge against Tony Bellew

    7-1 now, but he’s still a place lay to me Nathan! Tonight’s challenge must have been a definite career highlight. Forget those 287 Group One wins.

    Frankie can’t stop winning
    Just pulled back a 70 point deficit in a challenge against the other camp

    I’m glad someone is watching it!
    Frankie flying the flag for racing.
    Big risk putting 50% of racing’s known personalities in the jungle at one time.
    Good decision not to invite Thommo though.
    A bit like Royals flying together on planes, “two risqué.”

    Early days for Frankie
    we only see about an hour, minus ads, Ant and Dec chat and everyone else so just a glimpse of him but he’s coming across very well
    The thing with the jungle is they pretty much starve them which is why the drama starts with people hungry but Frankie as a jockey has had years of experience in not eating, so that will stand him in good stead when they are reduced to rice and beans

    He’ll probably put weight on 😉

    The things I want most in life are the things that I can't win.

    Dettori is out to 25/1 now. I assume he hasn’t been loud or annoying enough to get a huge amount of airtime, even though some readers of this forum will probably struggle to believe it.

    I’ve just caught up with yesterday
    Frankie’s team won a breakfast for champions.
    The camp has merged again and Frankie did show a facial expression of annoyance when the man-child camp mate was singing.
    Happy Frankie won’t last, cracks showing, if only briefly so far

    Frankie featured fairly prominently tonight, mainly in a challenge with a man from Hollyoaks that was clearly devised to cover the participants in milk.

    But he continues to drift and is now 33/1.

    I’m a day behind…
    I think there is a good bunch of potential winners in there so agree that Frankie has slim to none chance of placing

    That said its still good to see him coming across well or at least in my view he seems to be doing okay

    Agree with you Nathan, he’s doing fine so far. He is representing racing to the general public, so I’d prefer that he comes across well.

    I just don’t think he will have the public support to win. There are bigger characters in there, plus people that ITV’s editing favours as they have roles on their flagship shows.

    Unbelievable, nearly all who work in racing dislike Dettori intensely. I have gone right off this sight because all you punters seem just like the know nothing public and think the sun shines out of his backside. I shall be looking for a more intelligent, clued up racing site in future. Good bye.

    There are plenty of critical comments about Dettori on the forum.
