Frankel Foal On BBC1

That was a waste of time. I suppose it was the BBC's annual 2 minute quota of Racing Coverage.

I think it was 1087 f. Frankel (GB)-Kirinda (IRE) (Tiger Hill (IRE))

I don't know if that's likely to be any good. Although I think that puts me on the same footing as all the pinhookers in attendance. Although the dam one one race, on the All-Weather.

She looked lovely

Was very surprised to see that on BBC Breakfast this morning, ^ as you say it was the BBC's annual 2 mins of Racing Coverage.  Glad I didn't miss it !

Remember the good old days of racing on the Beeb -

I recognize that fella with the hat and microphone - it's Jussi Bjorling at the Zijuatenejo Hippodromo -- he is about to burst into song -- it is a song about the early birds on betting exchanges stealing all the value.

"I own horses yet I
Cannot get a decent
Wager on at a fair price -
O - I must pay for the upkeep
Of these fine and noble beasts
Yet others rush to profit
At my expense...(ARIOSO)

Soon it may get worse as some
Firm jawed lass arrives from
Kingsclere to swipe the bread
From my mouth - O woe!"

That's beautiful, Vel.

Does Frankel get to procreate "old school", or do they set Rebecca Loos on him with a rubber glove?

No such luck for the horse, Kelly Maloney got the gig.
