Many thanks Nathan for keeping my Thread updated so nicely..can’t believe how many Frankels have run while I’ve been away,they’ve certainly kept you busy.
Back in action Thursday..home late Wednesday. You’ve done a great job Jac

Hope you’ve had a great break Jac.
Daz has been missing you…..

Icespire was pretty impressive on the eye Monday, cut through the field like a knife through butter

must admit you get a bit worried when blinkered for there 1st race. especially when you think its 6/4 and a frankel. but like nathan said you could not have been more impressed with the way she went about destroying the field.

she a big scopy filly so would think loads more to come from her next year

[lionroars]

i must admit i had a few quid on FAIR EVA for next years guineas. for which i have nearly bined. i dont like pat smullen on my horses. but you have pat saying she was to weak for her last 2 races. and then you charlton saying she was spot on for both races. he then says im at a loss the way she has performed. so at the moment you would have to agree with pat.

but just might not be that great altogether

Hi Nathan…Just popped in to say have just got home and checked out Ambrosia, disappointing run from the filly but they can’t all be superstars like their dad and perhaps she will strip fitter for the outing next time.

Hi to Daz Good luck at Champions meeting looking forward to your thoughts and picks.

Will be catching up on the Frankel videos over next few days and weekend and will post up the Select 3 horses tomorrow.

Thanks for all your help Nathan you have certainly helped me out and I will update the runners statistics chart over weekend to bring it up to date and see where our profit margin is.

I’m tempted to keep this Thread running next season and follow this lot of 2yo’s into their 3rd season just to see how they fair and if we get any Classic winners.

See Lionroars has the Fair Eva Guineas ticket that so many went for on here a way back, I just missed out on the 14/1 so left it and must say I’m glad now as she didn’t seem to handle the hill finish on the Rowley Mile last run. She has been highly tried running in top company so perhaps drop her down a class or 2 and let her get her head in front again, could be a confidence booster for a filly who seems to have lost her way a little.

Looking forward to seeing the video of Icespire and all the others that have run in the last 10 days or so.

Hectic week ahead and looking forward to the Champions Day challenge, see I am drawn against New Approach very appropriate for me as he is my Avatar. That picture was taken just before he started his Stallion duties he’s filled out a bit since then.

See you at the Challenge and thanks again Jac

Yeah, I had a little smile seeing your name against New Approach,
I think it’s a sneaky tactic to try and make you go half hearted…..

Good job there wasn’t anyone called Frankel Nath I think I would have waved the white flag
