Big ask for HE'S EMINENT tomorrow up against the mighty WINX, he ran a good race last time out, would be great if he gives her something to think about.

Couldn't land a blow and for a horse with his rating to be dismissed so easily shows that Winx, even in her final race, has not been winning soft contests.

He has obviously returned to the way he ran in UK, never the same horse since his heart problems, i would not be surprised to see him have one more race then retired for good.

The original plan was for him to go to stud in New Zealand I believe but they sent him to Mark Todd to see if they could get any of the old sparkle back. There's still a few months to go before the SH breeding season starts and they had mentioned the possibility of looking at Hong Kong and perhaps even Royal Ascot with him, but that looks unlikely now I would have thought.

I did see an interview with "Toddy" and he said he'd sat on him himself and done a bit of dressage and jumped a few showjumps with him to try and freshen him up. If he is, as many of the Frankel's seem to be, a bit quirky, perhaps someone like Toddy is ideal and can keep throwing new challenges at him to keep him interested.

Looking forward to CAP FRANCAIS and CASANOVA at EPsom this afternoon.

A shame that DAYTIME didn't do better yesterday (4th) but she was green and the jockey seemed to run her into every pocket in the race!

Your right PNkt, watched the replay and the jockey didn't give her much of a ride.
 
Great run from CAP FRANCAIS would have caught the winner in a few more strides.
