There are some really nice horses in this field. Interesting that So You Think is cutting back in distance.
I think the owners are just sucking out money from this horse, it's really annoying. I think they should wait for races that would suit him, not ones that he will get beat in.Originally Posted by ThreeMustangs
Frankel to face 8 rivals on Saturday in the JLT Lockinge stakes.

Thankfully So You Think and Red Jazz were scratched (thankfully cos they don't have any business in there, for So You Think the trip is too short and Red Jazz I don't even know who this horse is).
Strong Suit is out as well. So now it looks like a re-match between Frankel and Excelebration. Bring it on!
Only 5 mins away and I'm soooo pumped! They're going down to the start and soon they'll be off and we'll know whether Frankel is still unbeaten! Eeeekkk!
Frankel looks as relaxed as ever!
Can you type up a play-by-play for us? I couldn't find a live feed.
Here we go!

And the winner is...FRANKEL BY ABOUT 5 LENGHTS!!! Excelebration 2nd
Woo-hoo! Frankel! Thank you Bullet Train for setting that nice pace. What a great turn of foot Frankel has...off to Ascot!

Here's the race overview:
They all broke well, Bullet Train set off to the lead by about 2 lengths to Frankel in 2nd. Excelebration was settling towards the middle. This didn't change until the pace quickened and Bullet Train dropped. Frankel just took off and as soon as Excelebraion was within a length he just kicked off. He flew away and the only horse to have been in front of him this whole race was Bullet Train and that was only for about 6 furlongs and then Frankel just destroyed them. He looked effortless in doing this.
