He does remind me of Frankel. He’s buzzy and he has that elastic athleticism. Nice turn of foot. Great start as a stallion for the great horse.
THAT HORSE HAD SO SO MUCH LEFT AS WELL! VERY GOOD HORSE LETS HOPE THERE ALL LIKE THAT! IF THAT WAS A 7F RACE IT WOULD OF ABSOLUTELY HOSED UP!!
Love him to bits already.
Started off just like his dad winning his maiden on soft going except Cunco won over 6 furlongs today and Frankel won over a mile, he’ll certainly get further.Can’t believe he went off at 7/2 what a fabulous start, but thinking about it logically they were always going to wait for one of Frankel’s best to run and hopefully win in the fashion that Cunco did today to showcase their top stallion. Frankel’s dance card will be full to overflowing now and rightly so.
I think it’s the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot next on the list for Cunco, he’s already 6/1 favourite for that and who knows what awaits him for next year’s classics, I’m hoping they let Robert Havlin keep the ride but Frankie Dettori will probably take over the ride.
It’s like having Frankel back again…happy days.
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Great shot St. Nic he’s a real handful so full of himself, certainly knows he’s a bit special and the strength in those legs…
Jonibake has posted up some more great pics of Cunco on the Why Frankel Will Rule The World thread.Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Let’s not get too carried away. I’d like to see Cunco put a few lengths between himself and his nearest rival before even thinking of him as a champion. Early days. That said, once he started getting the gist of what was required from him, he began to motor just as the line popped up. So a step up to 7F looks obvious.

It was actually more of what Cunco did after the winning line that impressed me. He clearly seemed to have just hit full speed after the winning post and was full of running.
I think he would have won by much further if the the race had been 7F and that seems a sensible route to take him to.
There was almost no difference between the winning times for the two divisions of the maiden and it’s early days to be putting crowns on heads.
An exciting prospect for sure but for now the Racing Post haven’t produced a rating for him.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
John Gosden has said that if Cunco goes to Royal Ascot it will be for the Chesham Stakes.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
Currently 7/1 for the Chesham. Not a race that necessarily attracts the top two year olds so that price could look pretty big on the day. The ? is temperament as he appeared a handful and was reportedly coltish.
He’s with the right man to sort him out and the experience will have done him good. Looks a decent prospect.Cunco is 33/1 for both the 2000 Guineas and The Derby for anyone who thinks Frankel’s first dart will be the best one.

Coltish in the parade ring would be an understatement as RUK cameras caught him with everything hanging out which prompted the following comment from Havlin: “There was no harm, no malice and he might need that tackle later on in life. That behaviour together with him taking a right hold going to the start was the reason his price went for a walk – I was expecting him to be very free in the early stages but he was very tractable and settled much quicker than I thought he would.
Very impressed in the way he picked up but the most notable thing to me was that it took Havlin most of the back straight before he could actually pull him up and it reminded me of the comments Queally used to make about Frankel in that the most difficult part of ridding him was actually trying to pull him up!
Another one of Havlin’s comments was also quite telling: “He was where I wanted to be, but they didn’t go very fast and a few just got first run on me and he had a bit to do. He took a few strides to hit top gear, but I’d say he had a few more gears left.”
