THE brilliant Frankel stretched his unbeaten run to seven by landing the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot on Tuesday. Sent off at 30-100, Frankel stormed clear turning for home, but began to fade as the Aidan O'Brien-trained Zoffany got going for Ryan Moore. Read More
  • medlocke · Given the severity of the mistake made by Tom Queally with that very premature move in the St James's Palace, Frankel is very lucky that it was just inferior 3yr.old's that he was facing today, IMO. He was definitely paddling at race's end, and Zoffany was closing on him like a shot. Henry Cecil's been talking about taking Frankel to Goodwood next to take on Canford Cliffs in this year's G1 Sussex Stakes. But what I saw out of Canford Cliffs and Goldikova in the Queen Anne today, if Frankel had been facing top level, older milers like Canford Cliffs or Goldikova in this race? He definitely would've been swept aside, and dealt his first career loss today. JMO. · 351 days ago ·

  • Rossington · Right after Frankel crossed the wire just 3/4 of a length ahead of Zoffany in the St Jame's Palace, the camera man spanned his camera into the stand's, and pointed it at Sir Henry Cecil. A picture really is worth a thousand word's. Because Cecil had a real look of disgust on his face for jockey Tom Queally not carrying out his instruction's, and very nearly allowing his star colt to get at the wire by Zoffany. Cecil did not look happy, one bit. I'd imagine he'll be telling Tom Queally that from now on, he ride's Frankel Henry's way, or no way at all!! · 351 days ago ·

Juddmonte Farms’ Frankel was among 13 early entries for the Gr1 St James's Palace Stakes, co-feature on opening day of Royal Ascot, which runs from Tuesday, June 14 through Saturday, June 18.   The ease with which Frankel crushed the opposition in his most recent start, the Gr1 2000 Guineas at ...Read More

  • TimSmith · One thing is Ive heard people upset about Frankels rating.I dont think he is a top 10 horse yet. I agreed 47 is too low but he is still learning the game · 351 days ago ·

  • ruffian75 · I remember when Giant's Causeway came to the 2000 BC Classic, first time to run on dirt. Ran a champion race in a close losing effort to Tiznow. A friend of mine mentioned prior to the race that he was going with GC & Tiznow, stating that although it was GC's first effort on dirt, he was on the extreme outside, and he wouldn't have any dirt kicked in his face. Maybe Frankel can draw the outside, and not be fazed. · 351 days ago ·

THIRTEEN colts remained in the St James's Palace Stakes at Wednesday's forfeit stage, but the odds suggest it will be a one-horse race with Frankel 1-3 to add another Group 1 to his cv.All eyes will be on the son of Galileo on Tuesday, when Royal Ascot kicks off with three top-level races, following...Read More

  • medlocke · He romped at Royal-Ascot last season when he beat Klammer and the Epsom Derby 2nd, Treasure Beach, by a huge margin to win the G2 Juddmonte Royal Lodge Stakes. Frankel really is a freak of nature. One of those very special horses that comes along that a trainer is lucky to ever have one in a lifetime!! Frankel really is as advertised, and more!! · 355 days ago ·

  • rossington · There's going to be some other very decent 3yr.old's in the St James's Palace Stakes field that are already G1 winners in Europe themselves. I.E., Dream Ahead, Wootton Bassett, Excelebration, and Zoffany. That said, Frankel is literally in a league all his own among his 3yr.old pears. The running of the St James's Palace is almost just a formality, IMO. Frankel's likely to never be truly tested until he step's up against older horses. They say that great horses can run on any surface? Henry Cecil brought Twice Over to America in 2009 to try and win the Breeders Cup Classic. But IMO, if Cecil so chose to put Frankel on the conventional dirt at Churchill Downs? This horse would give him a much bigger chance of winning the Breeders Cup Classic than he had with Twice Over. With all of the better conventional dirt horses now retired, I.E., Zenyatta, Blame, Lookin At Lucky, and Quality Road, likely as not, Frankel would romp against what's left among the American hopeful's in this year's Classic.

What more can be written about Goldikova?  Put her in a race at a mile on good ground and she'll get it done time and again.  For a moment in the Queen Anne Stakes it looked like Paco Boy might have the momentum to go by Goldikova in the shadow of the wire.  But the champion mare...Read More
The Coolmore Stud confirmed its status as the most powerful bloodstock ­operation in the world here yesterday. Godolphin, once considered a serious rival to John Magnier's breeding empire, merely ­confirmed the depths of its decline, and while the scoreline was merely one-nil, as Mastercraftsman too...Read More
