    Tote win 1.40 in Frankel - can't argue with that, 2-5 much better than the bookies <ok>

    He looks better than ever. Considering Excelebration was race fit that was an exceptional performance.

    On that evidence it looks a matter of time until he breaks all the ratings records. I really think 10f is going to be well within his compass and that will give him every opportunity to climb still higher.

    There can't be any doubters left now can there? World's best racehorse, worlds best trainer (with apologies to Black Caviar and Aiden O'Brien).

    There are always doubters. No doubt Excelebration was below par, Dubawi Gold this, everything else that, etc., etc. He is the best horse. It is that simple.

    Made it look so easy. Frankel's action is something else, so smooth and effortless.

    What's the point of running in the Queen Anne, he'll just sluice up, he must go 10f for the first time

    Just home from work.


    Frankel- absolutely superb.


    Loved the way he settled today and Tom eased him into the race. Looks much more likely to get 10f this year than at any point last year and he looked more mature.



    Would the Arc ever be a possibility, or is it just me dreaming?

    Sir Henry saying the Queen Anne is more likely at Royal Ascot, but didn't rule out the Prince Of Wales'. I hope he goes for the Queen Anne because I've got my tickets booked for the Tuesday already and I hope he then goes to the Eclipse because I've got tickets for that too! <laugh>

    I feel so happy for those that were there to witness that procession. It was pretty emotional watching it on tele over here. Can't wait for Princess's photos.
