rossington · Worst news I've read in a long, long time. Losing Canford Cliffs to retirement makes it all but certain that Goldikova will win a 4th Breeders Cup Mile with very little competition against her at Churchill Downs this year. Since Prince Khalid Abdullah and Sir Henry Cecil have already publicly stated that Frankel will not attend this year's Breeders Cup races. I think Canford Cliffs was definitely the horse that could have ended Goldikova's run in the Breeders Cup Mile. Best wishes to Canford Cliffs at his new home. Now going to be standing stud at Coolmore-Ireland. · 298 days ago ·

Fabulous Frankel Does It Again

FRANKEL was hailed as one of the all-time greats by his legendary trainer Sir Henry Cecil after he stretched his unbeaten record to eight when he dismissed Canford Cliffs in devastating fashion in Goodwood's much-vaunted Duel on the Downs.Read More

medlocke · Every time I watch the replay of the Sussex Stakes, I shake my head in disbelief!! The burst of speed that Frankel uncorked at Goodwood today was unbelievable. Anyone who's followed Canford Cliffs know's that the turn of foot that he has isn't chopped liver by any means. But when you can create a burst of speed that leaves a horse like Canford Cliffs for dead, then you're truly in a league of your own. At a mile, anyway. · 306 days ago ·

medlocke · This truly is a clash of 2 titans of the sport right now!! I agree with you Brian Zipse, I'm also picking Canford Cliffs. But him having to give away 8 or 9lbs. to Frankel is a serious concern. But, IMO, I think with only 4 horses in the field, this race becomes as much about tactics as it does speed. That's where Canford Cliffs will have the advantage, IMO. The pressure's more on Tom Queally riding Frankel to keep his unbeaten record in tact than it is on Richard Hughes and Canford Cliffs. Because Canford Cliffs has already been beaten in his career. Although, he has a 5 straight G1 winning streak on the line himself. Frankel's a beast. But so is the horse that's going to be running at him. I say Canford Cliffs beats Frankel in the Sussex Stakes by a head. TJMO. · 308 days ago ·

mary.schweitzer · No doubt this will be a tactical race. I'm going with Frankel in this one; I think he's the only one who can either go with it on the front end, or lay off the pace. He'll be up front and be allowed to dictate things...with Canford Cliffs right off of him. Definitely will be a close one. :) · 307 days ago ·

medlocke · @BrittanyHamilton, You'll be able to see the G1 Sussex Stakes live on HRTV at 10:10 A.M. east coast time. Frankel at 8-11, Canford Cliffs at 11-8. Give me the 11-8 on Canford Cliffs all day long. Don't get me wrong, I think Frankel one of the best 3yr.old's that's come along in a long time, and he's got freakish ability. That said, Frankel's unbeaten record is all placated on having beaten other 3yr.old's that were clearly inferior to him. He's never faced older horses, and he's going right straight to the top of the list among older horses taking on Canford Cliffs. Frankel's never faced another horse with anywhere near the kind of speed and tactical ability that Canford Cliffs has. It's no accident that Canford Cliffs beat Goldikova pretty easily at Ascot in the Queen Anne Stakes, and it's also no accident that he's reeled off 5 straight major G1 win's at a mile on turf. Going back to the 2010 season, Canford Cliffs has won the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas, the G1 St James's Palace Stakes, the G1 Sussex Stakes, the G1 Lockinge Stakes, and the G1 Queen Anne Stakes in succession. He's faced some really tough milers in those 5 races, too. Canford Cliffs will beat Frankel in this year's Sussex Stakes, IMO. · 307 days ago ·

medlocke · It's quite certain that Canford Cliffs will be coming to Churchill Downs, looking to knock Goldikova off of her Breeders Cup Mile throne. I suspect that Irish Derby winner, and Epsom Derby 2nd, Treasure Beach, will be pointed toward the Breeders Cup Turf. So You Think is the enigma horse of the three? I'm not really sure if Aidan O'Brien is looking toward the Breeders Cup Turf or the Breeders Cup Classic with him? Especially since he and John Magnia announced after the G2 Hardwicke Stakes at Ascot that Hardwicke winner, Await The Dawn, will be headed over for the Classic. Await The Dawn's won 6 of 7 lifetime starts now, but has a very heavy laden conventional dirt pedigree. Sired by Giant's Causeway who was by Storm Cat. With his dam side being Valentine Band. Who was by Dixieland Band. I guess time will tell? But expect to see Coolmore with a strong hand at Churchill Downs come November. · 335 days ago ·

medlocke · I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say that we witnessed a changing of the guard at Royal-Ascot at the end of this year's Queen Anne Stakes? But I would go so far as to say that Goldikova has finally met in Canford Cliffs a turf miler who's turn of foot is every bit equal, if not quicker than Goldikova's. It's no accident that Canford Cliffs has now won 5 straight major G1's over a mile on the turf in Europe. All last season, Canford Cliffs trainer, Richard Hannon, kept running Paco Boy and Dick Turpin at Goldikova, and she always proved to be a half length to a length better than both every time. That's just no longer the case with her facing Canford Cliffs, IMO. Canford Cliffs is a very legitimate threat to dethroning Goldikova in her bid to win a 4th B.C. Mile. TJMO. · 346 days ago ·

ruffian75 · All I know, is that their times are slower. I do comparative times, with the aid of the Track Equalization Chart. It is very difficult to grade their times, for they are a lot slower. Probably, due to tracks that are more subjected to clammy, off weather. They do have something, I think, that's called Time Formulator, which is equal to the Beyer Speed Rating over here. That's probably the best gauge, is to familiarize yourself with the Time Formulator. At least that would give you an idea of the best across te pond. · 349 days ago ·

She ran another great race at Ascot today, as per usual. But she finally ran into a horse in the Hannon barn that wasn't named Paco Boy or Dick Turpin. She ran into Canford Cliffs. A horse that I've been saying every since his 3yr.old season has every bit the turn of foot, or better than Goldikova. No excuses for either of them today. Simply put, Canford Cliffs turn of foot was just a good deal more emphatic than Goldikova's was in the Queen Anne. · 349 days ago ·

But I would imagine that trainer Roger Charlton and Prince Khalid Abdullah would have to be ecstatic about the way that Cityscape ran in this race. He really laid down a late challenge, and briefly looked like he might really hit the wire with Canford Cliffs and Goldikova. But it was still a career best for Cityscape. Beaten 1-3/4 lengths by Canford Cliffs, and 1 length by Goldikova. Cityscape ended the 2010 season with win's in the listed Superior Mile at Haydock, and the G3 Joel Stakes at Newmarket. Then made his seasonal debut at Sandown, where he was beaten by 2-1/4 lengths by Dick Turpin in the G2 Bet365 Mile. Most people had Cityscape figured to finish behind Cape Blanco, Rio De La Plata, and some figured even behind Ransom Note also. I think this race will give Cityscape a huge dose of confidence, and I don't doubt Charlton looking for a strong G2 or another G1 over a mile for Cityscape to contest in the very near future!!

medlocke · For the people who don't care about the politics of Europe vs. America in the Breeders Cup races. And go to the event for the joy of watching the best horses in the world race. And also bet to make money off of those horses, whether they're from Europe or America? These comments are directed toward you. The Coolmore-Ballydoyle colt Zoffany, trained by Aidan O'Brien, is without question among the very best of the best of the European 2yr.old's. 5 wins in 6 lifetime starts. Zoffany's only loss was in the G2 Coventry Stakes at Ascot. To another top level 2yr.old, Strong Suit. But Zoffany was very badly hampered in the Coventry. Squeezed out between Strong Suit and Galtymore Lad. Ending up finishing 6th in the Coventry. But since the Coventry Stakes. Zoffany has won the Golden Fleece Stakes. A listed race. The G3 Tyros Stakes. Won by Rip Van Winkle in 2009. And most recently, made up for the Coventry flop by defeating Strong Suit with a powerful run in the G1 Phoenix Stakes. Zoffany is a very big and physical 2yr.old. He looks like he's been chiseled from stone. O'Brien will likely send this colt to America for the Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf. If he does send Zoffany? As a handicapper who keeps up with European racing as closely as American racing. I strongly recommend a bet on this Ballydoyle 2yr.old. I just haven't seen any American turf 2yr.old's that are in Zoffany's league. He's already a G1 winner as a 2yr.old. · 627 days ago ·
