Frankel - Stud Career

MAJORIS has been declared for tomorrow at Brighton.

A bit of a rush of entries:

SAN REMO has been entered at Leopardstown on Thursday
SENATOR at Newmarket on Friday
SEVEN HEAVENS at Ascot on Friday

 

Frankel had his first runner in Japan over the weekend. Here's the write up from the EBN:

FIRST JAPANESE FRANKEL
The debut of Rise Eagle, the first Japanese runner by Frankel, in the newcomers’ event over 1400m Saturday at Chukyo was one of the highlights of the weekend in Japan. The grey colt attracted the equivalent of more than €158,000 in the betting and was sent off as the 7/10 favourite. He broke slowly and was sent wide as the field covered the first 1000m in 57.5s. He faded in the straight, finishing fifth, more than six lengths behind the winner Meisho Sobi (Precise End).

 

MAJORIS wins!

Here's the obligatory commentary from RP:

 

Video of closing stages here:

 

SAN REMO and SENATOR have been taken out of their engagements.

SEVEN HEAVENS has been declared with Rab Havlin up - he's the only Frankel that Juddmonte bought at the sales, from a very good Cheveley Park family.

CUNCO and FRANKUUS have both been given an entry in Saturday's G2 Superlative Stakes at Newmarket.

 

Interesting article taking a look at Frankel's first season so far from a mathematical point of view.

 

That certainly is some in depth analysis, brilliant work.

 

Slightly surprised that New Approach's Median rating for his 2yo runners to the end of June was only 65. Didn't he have 3 Royal Ascot winners?

 

He did, but perhaps the average was dragged down by the others?

 

Two entries in France on Saturday:

LAST KINGDOM - 4.28 (UK time) at Clairefontaine
TOULIFAUT - 5.35 (UK time) at Clairefontaine

 

SEVEN HEAVENS wins quite comfortably in the end. He cruised through the race and it was only in the final furlong it looked like something might get to him, but he held on.

Six out of six in Europe!

 

The obligatory RP commentary:

 

QUEEN KINDLY has an entry in a Novice Stakes at Catterick on 13 July.

 

Loving these winners, I take it Frankuus has been withdrawn tomorrow ?

 

Can we make this thread a sticky ? I think It's deserves to be up the top

 

Cheers oddy, man of the people

 

Thanks Oddy.

Yes looks like Frankuus has come out of the race.

Various bookmakers make Frankel 4/1 to sire a Classic winner next year now.

 

That Seven Heavens is going to make some specimen as a 3 and 4 year old. What a stamp of a horse.
