JLT Lockinge Stakes

With the Newmarket Classics out of the way, milers aged four years or older take centre stage in the Group 1 JLT Lockinge Stakes, the second of the QIPCO British Champions Series races in the mile (1600m) category.

This top class contest has been won by the likes of Russian Rhythm and Rakti and many of this year’s field will be looking to build a solid platform on which tobase their season. Indeed, last year’s winner Canford Cliffs won the race en route to a thrilling Royal Ascot Victory in the Queen Anne Stakes. The greatest miler we’ve seen for some time; Frankel makes his seasonal reappearance here, with a view to targets over longer distances later in the season. Regarded by Sir Henry Cecilas the best he’s ever trained, the highest rated horse in the world is unbeaten in all of his nine starts to date. His form, ability and scope to improve further as a four year old, will be factored in his skinny price in this renewal of the Lockinge His main rival, Excelebration comes into the race with a fitness edge,but Frankel is one of the most talented racehorses of all time, and should begin an exciting season with a victory here.
==================================================================================================================================================

The comment made by JBI RACING in your quote......is just that .....Their opinion.....

It is clear from theri opinion in the quote I post above, that they believed F would win.......and in their opinion the MAIN RIVAL was Excelebration....not Bullet Train.


According to RACING POST comment AFTER the race ....

    Excelebration (IRE) 100/30     4     9-0      A P O'Brien     126     *     *     »
    Joseph O'Brien
     
Disputed 3rd until driven and quickened to go 2nd approaching final furlong, kept on well but never any chance with easy winner


===========================================================================================================================================================



It is a prestigious race , and the owner of BT and Frankel was the same person.......so what! One horse was a 5 yo ( BT) and the other a 4 yo (F). Of course the expectation of the owner would be that F would win......but in case it had an off day, they also ran another horse that possibly could win.....if race conditions were in its favour.....which they were4 not IMO.


Horses are not machines, and F could have had an off day.....or pulled up injured etc.... BT did set the pace for race......but when F took it on .....as well as the other horses ...according to RACING POST ....it was "an easy winner"


BT tried to win from front ...and failed.....as did all the other horses in race...except FRANKEL.


Give credit where it is due.....the best horse in race won....... FACT

Are  you all there?

and in their opinion the MAIN RIVAL was Excelebration....not Bullet Train.
Ummmm,, obviously they didn't think BT was a rival, because they knew he was in there with the sole purpose of both setting the pace for his brother, and clearing a path wherever possible.  He wasn't in it to win it, so how the fcuk could he be a rival?


One of the thickest arguments I have seen on the BF forum.  Congratulations, took some doing.

Google pacemaker bullet train, and you will find 1.7 million results.  And you want to claim I will get sued for suggesting that BT ran purely to help his brother out?

You are an absolute goose.

FACT...Frankel won...again.......So some might say that no matter what horse ran against it...it would win.....in those races.



You continue your name calling ...makes no difference to me.....all that matters is the FACT FRANKEL won......as was the best horse on the day re the race you selected.

BJT ...31.10.13 2.50

"There is no secret I think that horse is very overrated and I have been very vocal in giving my opinions.  Problem here, is the horse is the highest profile horse in the world and the tactics used for it are very questionable in quite a few of his races.  What better example of problems in racing can you make when you have the option of showing rorted races involving the most publicised horse in the world?"

======================================================================================================================================

So you believe the races run by FRANKEL were dishonest schemes for it to win?


Fact is ...it has won every race.............................and with race you picked ...it apparently was an  " easy winner " ( According to RP)......


You make no secret that you believe FRANKEL is "overrated"......but who cares what your opinion is....the FACT is it keeps winning. Not FRANKEL's fault the other horses can't beat it at the distances on the going at the time of year the races were run......

Actually the race I originally pointed out as the most obvious use of team riding, the QIPCO Champion Stakes, if Bullet Train was in the race for himself and not for Frankel, CDA would have beaten him.

Unsure how you think him winning disproves that team riding benefited him.

QIPCO British Champions Day

The £1.3m QIPCO Champion Stakes will be the richest race in British racing history and is the showcase event of the British Champions Middle Distance series. The 2,012m race has been won by equine stars such as Pebbles and Rakti. Sir Henry Cecil is likely to land his fifth victory in this courtesy of Frankel, who recently stepped up in trip to ten furlongs in the Group 1 Juddmonte International Stakes, recording another bloodless victory. He is once again the star attraction and his progression has been hugely responsible for the increased hype surrounding this fantastic event.


===============================================================================================================================================


Anyone who has a horse that MIGHT  be capable of winning a race where prize money was richest race in British racing history, would enter it.


The ease which FRANKEL won the race was just down to BT .....in your opinion.......RUBBISH!

A couple of questions.

1.  Have you watched the race?
2.  Who won by 3 lengths?
3.  What strategy has ever involved Led 1f, restrained, moved up to lead again over 5f out to well over 2f out, weakened in a horse that was in it to win it?
The horse went to the front to slip stream frankel, couldn't, restrained to try and get him on his back, couldn't, so pushed up to pressure the rival of frankel, then weakened due to being out of gas after doing his job.


Pretty clear that:
1.  No you haven't watched the race even.
2.  Nobody won by 3 lengths.
3.  Never in the history of racing has a horse tried to do that when ridden to ride its best possible race.


Seriously though, if you aren't even prepared to watch the race, to gain your own opinion, what are you trying to achieve?  We can all read racingpost website.  Not sure why you think we need a copy/paste of it to serve as your opinion.

FRANKEL just ssslipstreamed NATHANIEL for most of race....it easily caught them up after a slow start.....


CDA was the horse wanting to push on with pace of race...and did so.....


FRANKEL cruised up and just won without any resort to whip...unlike CDA.....


So I suggest you just accept the best horse won on the day.....

What was Bullet Trains jockey looking around to see if he wanted the lead?  He took the lead, then restrained for some "unknown" reason.  Why was that, and why was he searching the field constantly until Frankel had the sit on Nathaniel?

I can't interpret what is in your heid.......mince posiblyTongue Out......

Just open your eyes and acknowledge FRANKEL won race easily after a slow start ( for once).....

Your churlish comments don't really surprise me.....and just admit that a couple is 2....not 3......


You churning out questions on a race that was a cllear win by FRANKEL makes me think you are OBSESSED re FRANKEL ...and your opinion that FRANKEL is overrated.

Anyway .......the commentator is only expressing an opinion ...it was his interpretation on race.......and nothing takes away from FACT FRANKEL won easily after a slow start.....


How far would it have won...had it started normally??????

Commentator never used these words?

Watch this race, and listen to the commentator for the first half of the race.


"Ian Mongan having a look around to find Frankel".
"Bullet Train clearly being restrained in an attempt to try and get Frankel on his back, his rider looking round persistantly".
"Bullet Train trying to get in front of Frankel in 3rd and 4th place but unable to slipstream him".....
"Bullet Train just trying to make a nuisance up the inside once more".


The volume + button is your friend....

Now if you could be a good chap and point out the time on that video where any jockey ever turned around, it would be much appreciated.  Even if they did, there was none looking around and steering his horse to try can give another horse a cart up.

And yes, the commentator was giving an opinion.  The commentator for G1 English racing, has an opinion that it is accepted practice to hire jockeys, and enter horses, with the sole purpose of helping out another horse in the race.  That is his opinion.  A man hired by the racing industry to report live on the current state of a race, has the opinion that not all horses are given their best possible chance and are in the race purely for team riding.

Pretty valid "opinion" I would think.  Did he lose his job for his "opinion"? Would think that a man commentating on one of the most watched races in the world claiming such things about British racing couldn't possibly have kept his job.  Right?

JBT ...You ask ( rather stupidly...as was clearly on video at start of race).....MASTER OF HOUNDS (horse number 4)  jockey at around 16 secs looked round
to see where FRANKEL was ......................probably wanting to "slipstream" FRANKEL.....Who knows...certainly not you or the commentator.


What the commentaor said was just his opinion...not fact. When he said FRANKEL was trying to slipstream BT......he never tried to do that.......FRANKEL's jockey just followed
NATHANIEL for most of race.....


Also BT was on inside rail at finish......FRANKEL always ran race on OUTSIDE of horses.


CDA had at least a 5/6 length start in race over FRANKEL....but lost by 3 lengths ( SL states this....looked 2.5 lengths to me).


FRANKEL cruised up to win easily.......without any help from any other horse in race.

The commentator "expected" BT to be the lead horse BEFORE the race......based on his inane comments during the race. He tried to hype up the drama in race by his comments..

....which was for the general public ....not professional punters .

Based on FACTS of race....not opinion of commentaor......FRANKEL started slowly.....lost 5/6 lengths at start ....quickly made up ground
to sit 4th behind NATHANIEL ( never tried to get behind BT)....kept to outside of field position....allowing CDA and BT and NATHANIEL to lead him round course.

When FRANKEL made his move arount 1.42 secs on video......he cruised up and won easily...taking the lead without recourse to whip......
CDA jockey used whip at least twice before FRANKEL cruised past him......FRANKEL jockey did use whip once when about 2 lengths up near finish.....
but still won clearly ahead of field.


I don't give a feck about what the commentator said...as irrelevant to how easily FRANKEL won.

If you are simple and believe every word a commentator makes....you are an eeejjjjiiiittttttttttttDevilLaugh

FRANKEL won easily....end of discussion.......never attempted to slipstream BT........open yor eyes ....


As already stated ...BT jockey MAY have wanted to slipstream FRANKEL .....as di horse MOH.......possibly....who knows....certainly not YOU!

G'day.

I have watched the race, and find it amusing that you choose to ignore the relevance of what the conversation is actually about.

The plan of the race, was for BT, as per usual, to slipstream Frankel until about 3-4 furlongs, then pull off to the side and let him through, and take out anybody behind him.  That was the plan in all their races.

The jockey on Frankel was quite happy to sit behind Nathaniel once that was apparant it couldn't happen.
The jockey on BT however, since that is what he was employed to do, tried to manoeuvre back through the field to get in front of Frankel to drag him through the field.  Once he finally worked out that it wasn't happening, he then pushed his horse forward to put as much pressure on CDA as possible, seeing as that horse was Frankels main rival.
Every move BT made in that race was about Frankel, not about BT getting the best possible finish for himself.

The rest of the rubbish about how Frankel won, is just that, and not relevant here.  The conversation, was about horses being in the race for others benefit, and riding dead.  The conversation was about it being accepted practice in England for team riding, and riding horses dead to fraudulently rip off the general public.

Hey you accept it, so good on you.  Just because you accept it happening, doesn't suddenly mean that it isn't.

Wish you good luck on the punt.  Sounds like you need it.

You are brainwashed IMO.....

You appear to have made up your mind on how race would go.....BUT.....it didn't go your way or the way of the commentator.
YUP....both of you were "wrong"!

You had your dream race in your mind....but, it never happened the way you dreamt it would.


FRANKEL won easily AFTER A SLOW START....................Had it come 2nd.....you probably would then have said it was down
to not having BT leading it round, which of course would be just garbish.

Your "conversation" is your conversation with yersel.........................you picked this race to be critical....
.not anyone else.....and you already had preconceived idea on how race would be run....which never happened.

How many times does the outsider of 2 , from same stable/owner, win? Also, there are examples which you refer to that YOU could
have selected. .....There are other stables/ races you could have selected to have a "conversation" re the topic YOU wish to discuss
BUT you chose the race above.


You chose a bad example to try to prove your point.......and all because you believe FRANKEL is an overrated horse .

FRANKEL has a record that is excellent over the distances run and in the class of races............so your attempt
to tarnish this horse's record had failed. You tried to fit the above race/horse into the category you have in your
head........and fail to take into account just how easily FRANKEL won the race selected by you.

The topic of thread was about "DRIFTING" in market.........then you introduced a topic that is clearly a " bee in the bonnet " one
as far as you are concerned. So enough on the race selected......go open another thread on your topic if you wish
( I suspect it will be removed if your attacks are as scurrilous as the 2 on this thread).

GL with your punts.....as I suspect you need LUCK more than I doDevilLaugh

Queen Anne.
BT jumped out, steered 2 across to get in front, then slipstreamed him through most of the race.
"But its Bullet Train, Frankels pacemaker"

QE2
BT sent for home with 8 furlongs to go.  Finished last.

Lockinge.
There to slipstream Frankel again.  Beaten off early.

Sussex
There to slipstream Frankel.
Commentator again.  "So Bullet Train, with a few anxious looks over his shoulder, Ian Mongan, to ensure he is setting the right pace for Frankel"..

Champion
Tried slipstreaming, then went to pressure CDA when he couldn't.


The only legitimate run in there, was the Juddmonte International.  The rest he was running dead, with tactics purely designed to rort the rules of racing and the punter out of their money.


So yes, these are the some of the things you look out for when horses are drifting.  Cheating/fraud/rort/running them dead, whichever term you wish to use to describe the blatant disregard for the rules of racing in England.
