Great to see you back Chaos and bearing good news about Logician. So pleased and relieved that this good looking son of Frankel has come through worrying times and is back in training and well on tbe road to recovery.
2019 was such a sad year for losing top class horses this is a much needed pick me up…thank you.
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...“Hungry Heart” won a Group 2 today at Randwick and booked her place in the Golden Slipper stakes.
Nice to see a Frankel group 2 winner at 6F.
Frankel had a great result in the Longines Turf Handicap at Riyadh today, with the winner, Call The Wind, earning over a million pounds and the second, Mekong, earning £375,000. It may not be a Group race, but the prize money is very good. After all, The Melbourne Cup is just a handicap too.
Meanwhile Frankel’s first ever Group 1 winner Soul Stirring finished a close 3rd in her last ever race, a Grade 2 in Japan last night. A very good run considering she had been off for nearly a year and nice to see her retiring sound.
Can’t believe how time has flown by Tonge and that Frankel’s early progeny are now reaching their retirement.
Wish Soul Stirring a long and happy one with lots of beautiful mini Frankels and Frankelinas to carry on the line.Great to see Call The Wind winning on Saturday and thanks to Marginal Value for the update and to Chaos for the link. I actually backed Mekong EW in that race and thought he ran a fantastic race to be 2nd considering he got left 4 lengths at the start. He looked amazibg coming with that late run to try and catch his half brother.
Also brilliant news from Punterlog with videos of Hungry Heart and Mozu Ascot.
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Another Group winner for Frankel two days ago with Elizabeth Way winning the Group 3 The Very One Stakes at Gulfstream Park. She is out of the winner of the Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot (at York in 2005) Maids Causeway. With that pedigree, it is amazing that Godolphin let her go at Goffs November Sales last year for about £50,000. Being a Group winner by Frankel out of a Group 1 winning mare must make her a lot more valuable than that now. You have to admire the bloodstock agent John J McCormack for seeing so clearly into the future when he won that auction with a view to racing her in the USA.

Hi all who follow this, hope you are all well and staying safe. I thought i would just let you know how our boy has been doing lately.
He has still been producing a fair few winners since the shutdown here, including 3 more this Easter, South Africa, Australia and in America. I fear that the flat season might be over this year as things are not looking favourable on the Covid-19 front in the UK, maybe France might have some racing behind closed doors later in the season, i pray i might be wrong.
for now.All comers, all ground, all beaten
It was good to see some interesting European racing again yesterday. A fairly easy winner for Frankel at St Cloud in a mile contest for unraced three-year-olds. Hurricane Cloud looked comfortable right from the start and was going away from the field in the last 100 yards.
There is a video at: https://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/race-replays/2/4211/
Hi my fellow Frankelite’s!! Hope you have all been keeping well during these horrible times. Great to see people still posting on this thread and even better to see the great horse still producing top prospects. I hope you saw Bonne Idee sluice up the other day. Only a maiden but she looked full of potential. Can’t wait for the season to swing into action and hopefully see Quadrilateral bolt up in the Guineas. Stay safe everyone. I’m off to Barnard Castle to test my eyesight x

Hi Joni, I hope you are fit and happy too. Here are a couple of bits of fluff for Frankel fans to mull over.
For those who would like to see Bonne Idee in complete control of her race throughout, there is a video at:

For those who would like to see a very unlucky Without Parole in the Group 1 Shoemaker Mile at Santa Anita. The quick thinking jockey took advantage of a horse drifting off the rail to make a smart move up the inner on a cantering Without Parole . But sometimes you make a good choice and it still does not work out OK. Without Parole got stuck behind the lead horse and could not barge to the outside and skittle two other horses so had to sit and suffer to finish only third.

Wow – hadn’t seen that Without Parole race MV. Very unlucky but must go close next time. Travelled like a dream!

Super impressive from Frankly Darling there! Hopefully Oaks bound….
"this perfect mix of poetry and destruction, this glory of rhythm, power and majesty: the undisputed champion of the world!!!"
Brilliant 5 length victory
She’s on her way.Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...And follows up in the next with the ENORMOUS Valaryian Steel! He came from the clouds. Surely another Group class colt.
"this perfect mix of poetry and destruction, this glory of rhythm, power and majesty: the undisputed champion of the world!!!"
Keep your eyes focused on the stallion Shamardal.
A great son of the gutsy Giants Causeway.
His 2 sons
Pinautobo this weekend and Victor L winning the French 2000 today.
Colosus
Loved Sharmadal Colosus and hope his famous son Blue Point will take over from his dad producing superstars of the future.
Back to Frankel as this is his Thread and another exciting prospect running at Kempton 3.55 tomorrow trained by William Haggas and ridden by James Doyle the brilliantly named Born A King.
What a pedigree this colt has…
out of a mare by Empire Maker (USA) who was trained by Robert Frankel and the grand sire of triple crown winner American Pharaoh.Already a winner in my books..Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...
