Frankel won for fun in the Greenham Stakes in his 2011 seasonal debut at Newbury. He was cantering all over his stablemate and pacemaker, Picture Editor in the race. Who's no mug himself. Frankel, at a couple of different times in the Greenham was actually hanging down the camber quite a bit. But even hanging wasn't enough to stop this beast. He's got one of the best mid-race moves I've ever seen. When Queally ask him to go win his race, he just explodes. Hard to imagine him losing the Guineas.
First time in many, many years that the crowd that day at Newmarket was more excited and anxious about seeing the Dewhurst Stakes with Frankel, Dream Ahead, Saamid, and Roderic O'Connor than they were about seeing the Champion Stakes.
Strongly considering the biggest wager of my life on Frankel for the Guineas. Looks a certainty to me.

Machine.
They are talking him down (deliberately) for the Derby.
Lump on.

I wish the RUK could sort out the videos, everyone I have watch has had a horrible stutter to them.
Very hard to enjoy a race when it's this laggy!
