Hare Park has come onto the property market to rent and it is the home of none other than top Flat jockey, Frankie Dettori, who is in his final year of race riding prior to his retirement.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, a post-retirement “jet-setting life” is the reason behind Frankie and his wife Catherine putting their home onto the rental market.
