Clearly talking about Frankel and not England! What a performance in my view even more stunning than the run in the 2011 2000 guineas and there were 5 G1 winners behind him just 0.6 seconds short of the Ascot record in good to soft going, I will have to go to Sandown now if he runs in the Eclipse but will he try 10f or is that too far?
Busiest day of the comp so far 41 bets and 7 winners, two on Frankel at 1-10 Steve Walton & Ian Carpenter, 3 on Dawn Approach at 7-2, (what price is he already for 2013 2000 guineas after that), they were Justin Sercombe, me & Jimmy McGarrity. Best of the day went to Annette Berg making a pretty good bid to keep the cup at the Berg's home with a 9-1 winner to go 13th but on +£6.50, one decent winner from the lead really - no pressure Annette :-). Lastly a 7-4 winner for Kevin Hall.
In the plate Steve Walton's choice to bank a certain 5 points on Frankel let Justin Sercombe close the gap to just one point after his 10 point winner. Long way to go but quite a gap between last cash paying spot and 5th maybe close to having our top 4 sorted apart from perhaps Eamon Kelly who is 43 points behind with 8 bets in hand or Ian Carpenter 45 points behind with 10 bets in hand.
So that's Sunday sorted, glad the England game is now not going to clash with my Saturday trip to Royal Ascot to see Black Caviar run in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes.
