Strange decision as she has looked better than ever this season .................... Wish her a long and happy retirement, an absolute legend
Very Strange decision indeed thought she would come over here! But Wish her a happy retirement and will go down as a true great!
Would have loved her to come here and win properly at Ascot this time. Happy retirement to her, hopefully she will produce many healthy offspring!
The Frankel meeting is now very unlikely to happen It costs around £100,000 to fly a horse from Australia to the UK and as there is not the incentive of running at Royal Ascot beforehand I can't see it happening. If she is covered by an Australian stallion and gets in foal the meeting is even less likely. I can't see them sending her to foal in the Northern Hemisphere, which she would have to do as the risks of flying a newborn that far are too great. Frankel will never shuttle to the south, so the only possioble chance I can see is if she turns up barren one year they may decide to take the option to fly her up here.
