For what it’s worth CC certainly ran below par that day (he had beaten RDLP 5 lengths in the QA lto and only beat him 2 1/2 lengths that day) but he wasn’t the first or the last good horse to under-perform against Frankel. Frankel took them out of their comfort zone and most didn’t like it.
The tactics were different though. When Canford Cliffs won the 2011 Queen Anne, he was always held up about a length behind Rio De La Plata and then produced to go past him to catch Goldikova. In the Sussex, he was forced to go in front of RDLP in order to keep tabs on Frankel who steadily increased his pace throughout. So I think it is fair to say that Frankel’s pace setting may have suited RDLP more than CC who got undone by Frankel’s last half mile (in 44 secs).
But did you know that Canford Cliffs final furlong in Frankel’s Sussex was nearly 1.5 seconds quicker than his last furlong against Goldikova in the Queen Anne?
Well it all begins now!! Cunco – a 2 year old colt by Frankel out of Chrysanthemum and trained by John Gosden is declared to run at Newbury on Friday!!! Let the fun begin………………

That is the colt I suggested that they should name Blooming Legend.
Cunco?
Oh well, it’s not my horse.
Winning Ways in the same maiden interests me. He’s from the William Haggas stable and is bred from a successful formula I picked up on, which is progeny of Lope De Vega out of a Danehill mare. I’ll probably have put the kibosh on it by mentioning it now but the four previous ones I saw all won races.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
Cunco is the area of Chile in which the owners of the Frankel colt are based. Interesting to find them racing here, as they’ve spent millions at sales in the US in the last year or two.
So it all begins today. Very exciting as it’s been a long wait and I am not very patient!!! Hopefully Cunco will go well. Thought I’d also share this exciting blog from the Juddmonte site about Frankel’s son from Dar Re Mi. http://www.juddmonte.com/news/2016/130516FrankelDarReMi.aspx

Thanks for that link Joni and WOW just can’t wait to see how he gets on today, you are so lucky that you will see him in the flesh today.
Hoping that Channel 4 might just have someone there filming his first run (sure they will) and I have decided to put a tenner on every one of Frankel’s babies that runs this season to see if they net a profit or not, so we start off with..and this probably isn’t best price but it is my account with Paddy Power….6/4 – CUNCO
£10 winGive him a good cheer home Joni I know you will be leaping up and down like crazy when he hits the front.
Have a great day and tomorrow of course on the ‘Jolly Boys’ Outing’

Blimey, Frankel x Dar Re Mi is some breeding! In a couple of years he could be good, he could be great, he could be running novices’ hurdles at Plumpton.
Is he unnamed as yet?

Oh I see you have. Best of luck with this T
1st born, 1st runner, 1st winner! He showed a good attitude there and knuckled down to see it out.
Yeeeeeeehiiiiii!!! Wow – how did he win that? Soooooo coltish in the paddock and drifted like a barge in the betting. He won going away and Rob couldn’t pull him up. Sound familiar? Today is just the start. Had the pleasure of watching it with Mr and Mrs Ginge as well!!

Yes homer I’d been thinking of something along these lines for a while and decided to put it in the Systems section..I wasn’t sure where it belonged but it seems to have found it’s own place.
Nice start today £35 in profit so that’s the next 3 runners taken care of.
I hope they don’t all come out at once like a number 8 bus that could deplete the fund quite quickly
, but I’m sure we’re going to get a lot of information from the way Frankel’s babies run as to what the future holds for them and have a really good time doing it.
See you at the Bar

He’s called Erdogan Mike.
Just “Erdogan”. Not “Erdogan Mike” – that would be strange.
