SUMMARY

Stiff, gusty, headwind on the day.
Impressive effort by Frankel although with not much to beat with DG not able to raise much of an effort in the last 2f and running below form off a comfortable lead. But, running too freely for the first half of the race and fighting the jockey. Partly because the pace set not fast enough for him to move comfortably behind. A good VT to watch to see the different between a low OR80s handicapper (DG) and an OR110+ one. Frankel bigger, broader and more powerful than DG. Added to that he is a very correct and efficient mover. Which meant that despite the pulling he still put in a striking forward effort in the last 2f. Like watching a Formula 1 car eating up a Hot Hatchback.
Trainer Cecil in typically non-commital mode afterwards saying is was some time since he had a horse he felt was this 'Promising'. But then made it clear that there was a long way to go to deliver the promise but the horse might well be something different.
[Cecil also went up B2yoR's estimation by declaring he had complained to the Clerk of the Course about Derek Thompson bawling over the Tannoy for most of the day. As good a judge of a man as a horse apparently. What deadhead believes that having Thompson & Mapletoft shouting at you all day can do anyone any good. Amongst the drivel was a classic snippet from Mapletoft when he was supposed to be doing a Paddock Review. No mention of the horses in front of him but dodgy form review and unproven cliches instead. Told everyone that the topweight in the nursery 'deserved her chance' at this level. She was the only Conditions race winner in the field and is the TOPweight, You pillock. A gem to set alongside pundit Mark Johnson asking whether the second division of a Nursery was the weaker edition because it had all the fillies in it and less males. Either Johnson knows something quite deep about relative handicapping or he is competing in the Pundit Pillock stakes. Not 10/11 each of two there. ]
