(Reuters) - Italian jockey Frankie Dettori has made a U-turn on his plans to retire at the end of the year, announcing on Thursday that he will continue his career in the United States.

Dettori, who has ridden more than 3,300 winners and claimed three champion jockey titles, had said last year that 2023 would be his final year in the saddle as a professional.
