Fabulous Frankel!

Our second bet of Friday ran in the evening meeting at Newmarket in a very decent looking maiden race.
Frankel, 3pt win @ 6/4 (Best odds guaranteed paid 7/4)
We have been waiting for this one to run for a long time and flagged up in our message to members that he is a potential stable star.
We were slightly circumspect in our staking because of the heavy rain that had fallen and were slightly concerned with how soft the ground might become.

He always travelled well in behind the leaders and although slightly niggled along with half a mile to run he came through to win the race pretty easily, without being shown the whip at all.

The second horse home, Nathaniel, is also a horse held in very high regard at home. This was shown by the market support for him from 7/1 in to 3/1.
These two were 5 lengths clear of the 3rd home in what was a very hot race.

Keep an eye out for Frankel, this is a serious racehorse. He will only improve further once stepped up in trip and on a faster surface.

We are now just over 27 points in profit for August from just 8 account bets. Considering 3 of these 8 bets have been second, including one at 14/1, we have to be pleased with the month so far.

Lots of rain around again today.
There will probably a small account bet today but again, stakes will be sensible because of the going.

  1. I echo those sentiments re: FRANKEL.

    Potentially top class once he goes past a mile although I think he could be versatile regarding ground, Galileo produces winners on all sorts of going.

    Being talked up as a Derby winner already in some parts.....
