Agreed - certain - can Frankie keep him out of trouble in a 4 horse race? ;)

how far for me. but GL.

frankie at his cheekiest
![]() how cool was that .... |

By:
Those betting IR on that race.

Was there any need for Will Buick to sit 4 lengths behind him all through the race?
Making that ground up probably got the horse beat. |
|
By:
1.07 never in front
|
|
By:
Swap the jockeys and the other one wins. Buick good at waving the whip.
|
|
By:
It definitely was in front case.
|
|
By:
agreed Hulk - just cheeky - I love how the TV pundits tried to put us off - it's amazing how often they try to put you off a winning shorty
|
|
By:
dettori was toying with the runner-up. could've won half the track if he wanted ...
|
|
By:
not for long mac |
|
By:
He's not as good as he was but that was his class coming to the fore there. Love to see it!
|
|
By:
He probably is getting too old.
Not the horse he was by any means, but Frankie used all his experience and class to get him up and I doubt there are that many jockeys around who would have won on him today. |
|
By:
Anyone explain what the point is in Buick switching the whip when he never used it even once?
|
|
By:
let him retire on a winning note
jockeyship won that race let the strad go to stud he's desperate for a shag |
|
By:
As for all this old business ,Bar spanish who is no spring chicken they were all old
|
|
By:
Didn't have a penny on but a race like that, you don't need to. Classic!
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
Retire him? Why? There's many a good tune played on an old fiddle.
|
|
By:
I agree showed he's still got the fight so must be still enjoying it.
|
|
By:
It's alright for 7yo geldings to run but 7yo entires?
Have a heart man ![]() |
|
By:
Stradivarius was much the best for me why retire horse looks like he still enjoys his racing well done to the owner for keeping him in training.
|
|
By:
stradivarius has a bit of the giants causeway imo when it comes to a nose to nose thing strad will always win

He's 6/4 for the Doncaster Cup next friday. The present ground is good to firm (weather forecast is dry) rendering Trueshan a very unlikely runner, I believe. He's not improving, but against these opposition? Game over, I think, unless Princess Zoe could gain her 1st win since Oct 2020.
|
|
By:
Princess Zoe won't even be running at Doncaster
|
|
By:
Best price is 11/10 (from 6/4) now with one or two on 8/11 and 4/5; Princess Zoe earmarked for Cadran a race she won last year.
|
|
By:
Different league to that lot. But travelled sweeter than ever.
|
|
By:
If they had tried him over the sticks,would he have won the champion hurdle?
|
|
By:
Stayers possibly....but I'm sure he could be sure of a champion hurdle one day
|
|
By:
Just class
|
|
By:
Class? He just managed to beat/outstay Spanish Mission last time out. I believe today's oppositions were pants, and possibly worse ever of the race.
|
|
By:
He was behind Search For A Song (2nd) when odds-on and 7th at Ascot; the ground was soft that day, and Frankie nearly pulled him up. But, good ground today; 6/4 is too tempting. I just hope he's fit.
|
|
By:
His last G1 win was nearly two years ago.
They're lowering their sights these days. |
|
By:
12th at Ascot? Write that race off. If fit enough and has deteriorated any further should hose up here.
|
|
By:
owners just told itv racing its not fit. search for a song hacks up here.
|
|
By:
yeah he said only 85%
|
|
By:
The opposition is one of the worst against him. If he's sufficiently fit to do himself justice he's weighted to reverse placing with Tashkan. The ground's the key here.
|
|
By:
Yep, Search for a Song.
