Frankie Dettori describes wildfires near his Pasadena home as terrifying
Frankie Dettori reported seeing significant destruction near his home in Pasadena, Los Angeles, due to wildfires. The Eaton Fire has devastated several neighborhoods, forcing the postponement of racing and training at Santa Anita racecourse due to poor air quality. Dettori, who moved to California in 2023, was not in danger as a freeway separated his apartment from the fires. He expressed sympathy for those who lost their homes, noting the terrifying situation they faced. Many celebrities, including jockey Mario Gutierrez, have also been affected by the wildfires. Dettori mentioned that while trainers were concerned, Santa Anita was not in immediate danger, but racing was canceled for the weekend.
