As i expected, Frankel is now getting some nice staying 3yo's and it might pay to wait until this time next year before making judgement. Nathaniel is also showing his worth as his staying 3yo's mature.

If you're getting stayers, they need to be winning the Arc at that fee! He is going to be more Cape Cross than Galileo by the looks of it.

As in, he will get good ones (be doing well to do what CC did), but they will need time.

The ones that ran at 2yo have on the whole gone backwards. Probably rushed to get them on the track last year.

Most seem to want a trip, but also pull, which is a bad combination to me; throw in his best performer Eminent not being very tractable, and possibly being better with a bit of cut. It doesn't look great.
Saw one of Aidan's run the other night, San Remio or something, 90 odd rated, looked all of the above and that has been the typical Frankel to me. The Johnston horse that won the Group race recently defo wants cut to be at his best. I don't know what they're going to do with him to be honest, but the fee needs to drop, doing that and saving face is the thing. |

Its a testament to how good a trainer Cecil as that he harnessed that massive ability, he could have been lost in the shuffle elsewhere. What he might have done with a horse like Dream Castle!

I'm not au fait with the types of mares he's been bred with (apart from them being well bred animals)but is there a bias of his mares being staying types?
I wonder if that's the case, they'd be better off 'doing a Galileo' with him and start breeding him with speedier types to get some more speed in-Galileo is of course very much an influence for stamina, and although Frankel was not short of speed of course, he stayed well despite his dam being a sprinter? Just a thought-what do I know!  |
