What the Nation is saying about the Lockinge Stakes...

Farhh no longer second best in Lockinge‏

Second in no fewer than four Group 1 contests in 2012, Farhh would burst back onto the British racing scene in 2013 with renewed vigour, determination and in a league of his own as he powered away for a facile four length success in the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes at Newbury.Read More

ARBY · With Godolphin owning a part of Animal Kingdom the Queen Anne Stakes / Prince of Wale's Stakes could be the AK Farhh double for the stable. · 3 days ago ·

Frankel A Perfect Ten!

HE'S BACK. Frankel made it a remarkable ten wins from ten career starts with a scintillating reappearance in easily seeing off his old rival Excelebration for the fourth time. Read More

ILuvTurfRacing · Put this race in perspective. Excelebration with a Timeform rating of 133. The third highest rated horse in the world behind Frankle and Black Caviar. Aidan O'Brien even managed to slip in a 2012 seasonal debut race for him at the Curragh in Ireland, and he romped home easily that day in the G3 Gladness Stakes. Conventional wisdom would've been that race fitness, if nothing else, should've been on Excelebration's side at Newbury. Frankel comes in off of a 200+ day lay-off, and really decides this race for everyone before it ever really gets started. He buries a cracking good horse in his own right in Excelebration again, for a 4th time, faster than you can say Jack Sprat. And he wins going away by some 4 or 5 length's hard held, in hand. Every time I see this horse race these days, that old Rolling Stones song, "Beast of Burden" starts playing over and over in my mind. LOL. · 370 days ago ·

Breeders' Cup not likely for Frankel

It's "not ruled out completely," but it seems unlikely we will see the European star in America this year.Read More

footlick · @ajmindiola- He will be facing better horses in Europe than he ever will in the BC. Sir Henry said as long as he is relaxed and his mind is right they will stretch him out to 10 furlongs. euro analysts feel if he does that successfully they may try him in the Arc. · 416 days ago ·

AmbitiousD · Gio Ponti aside, have there been other successful milers from the US to travel abroad? If Frankel wont come to us, I would like to see ours go face him (however unlikely...its still fun to dream) · 416 days ago ·

Mike in SB · There have been a few top European horses come over for the Breedeers Cup, Miesque, Dancing Brave, etc. but if we want the top Europeans the purse for the Turf and Mile need to be increased. Why not eliminate a few of the 2 year old races, the 2 year old sprint for example and increase the Turf purses. · 416 days ago ·

ILuvTurfRacing · If Sir Henry Cecil and Prince Khalid Abdullah don't send Frankel stateside for the Breeders Cup in 2012? Then he'll never race in America at all. Because I strongly suspect that 2012 will be the final season of Frankel's career. Especially if he just continues to maul the competition in Europe the way he did during his 3yr.old campaign in 2011? His stud value will simply be off the charts with another dominate season. Not that it's not already off the charts, anyway? But just can't see Prince Khalid Abdullah and Juddmonte risking anything beyond one more season that could effect that? But TJMO. · 415 days ago ·
