Title: Frankel, just wow! Post by: Chompy on April 30, 2011, 03:17:09 PM Never seen a Classic won after two furlongs before. He is something else.
Title: Re: Frankel, just wow! Post by: doubleup on April 30, 2011, 03:22:35 PM lol I was almost laying on BF - I thought it must have gone off to fast. Surely it cant stay the derby with that speed? Title: Re: Frankel, just wow! Post by: Chompy on April 30, 2011, 03:30:41 PM Get the feeling Henry wants to go the Derby route. Sounds like the Dante will be next. He'll win that obv. Classy, speed miler over 1m2f at York? LOL. Head in chest again. After that I'll want to lay him for the Derby.

SHIBBBBBBAIT. Title: Re: Frankel, just wow! Post by: redarmi on May 01, 2011, 04:41:28 AM Just seen this for the first time. In 20 years of following racing that is probably the most amazing performance I have ever seen. The only thing I can think of that even compares is Dubai Millenium in the Dubai World Cup and QE2.

straight to the Derby or St James' (Guessing they'll stick to the mile though TBH) Title: Re: Frankel, just wow! Post by: Chompy on May 01, 2011, 02:18:08 PM 1/50 St James's
33 Derby Title: Re: Frankel, just wow! Post by: boldie on May 01, 2011, 02:47:17 PM 1/50 St James's 33 Derby That's the smart money..they have a ridic impressive miler on their hands and the derby is a nightmare of a race, on a nightmare of a track, which could well bugger him up. Title: Re: Frankel, just wow! Post by: celebspec on May 01, 2011, 03:36:52 PM Amazing performance. It was so easy, Francombe was saying he had a hard race, I just never saw it like that. I thought it may have been suicide to go off so quickly, he wasn't doing much in the final 100 yards, it was like a gallop he was waiting on them coming.
I think at this early stage he could win the Derby. I don't see much that is even likely to trouble him. Title: Re: Frankel, just wow! Post by: redarmi on May 01, 2011, 08:00:34 PM As amazing as yesterday was I think if the horse lined up for the Derby I would end up laying it for one of the biggest bets of my life. Be amazed if it stayed.

Be amazed if it stayed. What price you going then? Title: Re: Frankel, just wow! Post by: redarmi on May 01, 2011, 09:40:29 PM Happily lay 9/4 with a run which seems to be best generally avail.
Title: Re: Frankel, just wow! Post by: Josedinho on May 01, 2011, 11:50:46 PM What day would it be at Ascot if it ran there?
Title: Re: Frankel, just wow! Post by: boldie on May 02, 2011, 10:37:41 AM What day would it be at Ascot if it ran there? June the 14th, if I'm not mistaken Title: Re: Frankel, just wow! Post by: Chompy on May 02, 2011, 10:53:45 AM The world and his wife would want to lay him for the Derby if he ran, which is a million, and he'd probably start a falsely big price. Be around fours on for the St James's Palace imo.
Title: Re: Frankel, just wow! Post by: redarmi on May 02, 2011, 11:52:57 AM When celeb posted that I had a quick look at prices and seems bookies are out to get him. 17/2 in a place - that seems too big tbh but run seems so unlikely.....
Title: Re: Frankel, just wow! Post by: Dubai on May 02, 2011, 02:19:18 PM What price would u take "With a run"? My initial instinct was he has no chance of staying etc, but everything has its price and the more people say he wont stay, the more he will become a back
Title: Re: Frankel, just wow! Post by: Chompy on May 02, 2011, 02:35:07 PM If he is to run it will be because World Domination has flopped in the Dante. That, in turn, takes a chunk out of the current market. I'd happily take 3/1 with a run myself.
Title: Re: Frankel, just wow! Post by: NigDawG on May 02, 2011, 06:28:30 PM go for the glory and go for the derby imo. if it doesn't work out they can always give him time and bring him back to a mile later in the season.
Title: Re: Frankel, just wow! Post by: boldie on May 05, 2011, 07:35:13 AM Confirmed as not going for the derby
