What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about Newbury-GB...

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. · 11 days ago ·

ILuvTurfRacing · Over the years, you hear about some incredible stories surrounding great thoroughbreds. But this one takes the all time prize for me. It was reported on the front page of the Racing Post newspaper in England that just days ago in his final work leading up to Saturday's Locking Stakes, Frankel not only beat his lead horse by 20 lengths over 7f on poly-track. He also outran a train. The 7:13 service to Cambridge. · 13 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. · 57 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. · 57 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. · 56 days ago ·

medlocke · Frankel won the Greenham Stakes just for fun!! Just like with his win's in the Royal Lodge Stakes at Ascot, and the Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket, once Thomas Queally ask Frankel to go and win his race, he just exploded away from the others in the race. This colt has one of the most devastating mid-race moves I've ever seen on a horse. JMO. · 409 days ago ·

medlocke · Frankel doesn't have a cake walk by any means in Saturday's Greenham Stakes at Newbury. He's up against some stiff competition in the Coventry Stakes winner at Ascot in Strong Suit, and his very tough stablemate, Picture Editor. · 412 days ago ·

medlocke · Frankel's 2011 debut in the Greenham Stakes at Newbury turned out to be a race he just won for fun. He cantered all over his stablemate, Picture Editor, who's no mug himself. For the first half of the race, Frankel's head was to one side, and he was hanging down the camber quite a bit. But even that couldn't stop this beast. Frankel's got one of the most dominating mid-race moves I've ever seen on a horse. When Thomas Queally ask him to go win his race, Frankel just explodes away. After his debut win in the Greenham today, it's really hard to picture anyone beating Frankel in the 2000 Guineas. JMO. · 410 days ago ·
