Just seen that SOUL STIRRING runs in the Japanese Oaks in the early hours of tomorrow morning.

Looking forward to the Japanese commentary. They can't get their tongue around these english words ending with a consonant ....... "Soul-a Stirring"

Interesting that they're sticking with the Handicap route with ATTY PERSSE, following his Sandown win he'll surely be lumping top weight.
 
An oaks winner at that too. So not just speedy precocious types he is producing.

Soul Stirring is a daughter of Stacelita, who won the Prix de Diane, the Prix Vermeille and the Beverley D. Stakes. That is the stamina influence. They really should send her back to Frankel and hope to get a colt...

Just do not mention that Prix Vermeille to John Gosden – Dar Re Mi passed the post first but got (unjustly) demoted by the local stewards.
 
I wonder if Nothing But Dreams will eventually make it to the track on Friday. Still 66/1 for the Ribblesdale with PP. Won't be that if she wins impressively on Friday. If she turns up on Friday it would be tempting to take the 66/1 before she runs. There are a few good ones engaged but she could easily go down to 25's or lower
 
From Racing Post:

*John Gosden was bullish about Cracksman's Derby prospects after the unbeaten son of Frankel was put through his paces at Breakfast With The Stars at Epsom on Tuesday morning.*

*Cracksman, who galloped with stablemate Pealer, bypassed the Dante Stakes at York last week but was cut for the Derby after Permian's victory provided a boost to his form, and is now no bigger than 5-1 for the Classic on June 3.*

*Cracksman narrowly beat Permian on his reappearance in the Epsom Derby Trial, and Gosden reports that his twice-raced colt has improved since.*

*"He's come on a lot. I'm happy with him this morning and he's full of himself in the stable yard," Gosden said. "We didn't supplement him for fun in April. The mile and a half will be right up his alley."*

*Cracksman is owned by Anthony Oppenheimer, whose colours were carried to success by Golden Horn in 2015. Cracksman, like Golden Horn, will be ridden by Frankie Dettori.*

*Following the work Dettori said: "It was routine stuff but it all went well. The ground was on the slow side of good."*

And

*There was another son of Frankel in action at Epsom on Tuesday in the shape of Craven Stakes winner Eminent, who failed to meet expectations when only sixth in the 2,000 Guineas on his latest start.*

*However, trainer Martyn Meade is confident his stable star can bounce back in style at Epsom, with the significant step up in trip cited as a positive.*

*"I was absolutely thrilled – it couldn't have gone any better," Meade said after the gallop. "It didn't go according to plan in the Guineas. I think this is his distance."*

*Eminent was partnered by champion jockey Jim Crowley, who was impressed by the horse's demeanour.*

*Crowley said: "If you asked me to pick a ride in the race I'd choose him. He was really relaxed this morning, which bodes well for the big day."*

Missed a runner! KING'S ADVICE won on debut in Germany today. He's very closely related to QUEEN KINDLY as he is a half-brother to her dam.

According to Juddmonte's Twitter feed Frankel now has 12% Stakes winners to foals.

According to the Racing Post Statistics Page he is second behind War Front in terms of the percentage of his runners rated 80+ (61% compared to War Front's 62% and ahead of Dubawi and Galileo who both have 55%).

Obviously it's not fair to compare pure numbers of horses as Frankel has had far fewer runners than the others to date but he is the only sophomore sire to appear in the top 50 on that basis (18th with 25 runners rated 80+). Galileo leads the table with 60 runners rated 80+.

FAIR EVA has undergone colic surgery but connections hope she'll be back for a late-summer/autumn campaign.
