Red mist just beaten in a photo. Didn’t back learn by heart in the end instead had a saver on Ripley who was hopeless.
Think Red Mist still has a bright future though it’s had some good racing experience now and is certainly one of the best frankel two year olds I’ve seen. Also we’ve yet to see it on better ground where presumably it can improve.
2 more big race winners and it is proving to be a golden spell for Frankel. Nice to see the winners have included some that were widely written off. They certainly seem to be getting better with age…. much like myself of course…. 😳

Joni beat me to it, I was just about to post this when I noticed he was in first. I’ll post mine anyway just for those who like to see the winning horses names in print.
Good to see another Frankel group winner in Rostropovich in the Group 2 Galileo Futurity at the Curragh today, even though that must be in the mix for the softest Group 2 of the year. The other two Aiden O’Brien first-time-out Frankels were well beaten in the maiden. Another positive has to be the small but quick Queen Kindly winning a Listed Race at Pontefract.
Nice acceleration from Cracksman there. Also noticed Gosden namechecking Eminent after. Mirage Dancer more improvement to come? 2018 gonna be the year of Frankel’s Fabulous Four Year Olds??
That’s the first Frankel that has won which has really brought to mind his sire. His mid race surge reminded me of Frankel racing right around his field in the Royal Lodge; basically Cracksman destroyed them in a few strides. They also didn’t make the mistake of messing around with tactics too much and just sent him on.
Very impressive and he is definitely going the right way. Comes an hour after Miss Frankel wins in South Africa – the 9th country that has seen a Frankel winner. This was the 12th individual group winner from his first crop.
Interestingly his only 2 engagements are over 10f in the 2 Champions. Will JG be tempted to supplement for the Arc when he has the hot fav? Whatever – this one will be great to watch next year.

Way he moves through a race suggests to me Cracksman is best at 1m4f.
Is he in the Breeders Cup Turf?Value Is EverythingThis week Frankel became only the second stallion in history with just 2 crops to break into the top 10 Best Sires list. He currently stands at 8th but likely to rise as it doesn’t take into account this weeks results. He is also joint top Northern Hemisphere stallion in terms of 2nd crop Group winners level with Galileo on 12. All the stats are on TDN for those who are interested.

Betty F showed wonderful Frankel strides
.Hein she looked ‘ready to go” yesterday and seeing her in the flesh at Newmarket running in the hoofprints of her daddy down the July Course you couldn’t help but feel proud.
I have a picture I took on my mobile of her going to post but tinypic won’t let me download it..any ideas Nathan?
Could I email it to you and perhaps you could get it on here for me..Hope you were on Hein and all besotted Frankel fans
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Way he moves through a race suggests to me Cracksman is best at 1m4f.
Is he in the Breeders Cup Turf?I agree with that but I can’t believe he’ll ever set foot in the US. I don’t think anything about the horse suggests a ludicrously tight track and concrete ground is what he wants.
If they put him away for the year now I can see a Coronation Cup/King George/International/Arc campaign next year.
Hope you were on Hein and all besotted Frankel fans
JacThank you Jac, yes I was on, but only with modest 30€
.
I envy you to have enjoyed Betty F live and hope your picture will finally be shown here.
I think Betty will be one to watch out for .Hoping you will be able to share my picture of BettyF going to post on Saturday via this link:-
She’s putting her best foot forward.

Sorry I didn’t respond yesterday, was out all day with Father, deaf Jon and Mucker. Went to an antiques, flea market thing, still knackered.Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Lots of them going on round our way today Nathan hope you found a few lost treasures.
Glad to have found a way to post up my picture, she looks quite small when you see her but what a little pocket rocket BettyF is powering home up the hill at the finish.
