Frankel - Stud Career

This is getting ridiculous now.

 

Cunco currently 5/1 for the Chesham Stakes on the 18th

 

I've just got in and seen the result. Have to say I'm surprised by the SP.

Apparently CUNCO is burning up the gallops, his piece of work yesterday was flagged up in the Racing Post as the rider couldn't pull him up - sound familiar?!

 

Queen Kindly has been entered for the Queen Mary and the Albany next week.

MAJORIS has been entered for a novice at Leicester on Thursday evening.

 

CUNCO has his entry for the Chesham now.

 

And Frankuus.

 

For some reason they're not showing on the RP site at the moment, but thanks for the heads up!

 

Majoris has been taken out of his engagement on Thursday and Queen Kindly has been taken out of the Queen Mary but remains in the Albany on Friday for now.

 

Queen Kindly declared for the Albany on Friday (Jamie Spencer on board) and is a best-price 8/1 with Paddy Power and Racebets. Elsewhere she is available at 6s and 7s.

 

CUNCO and FRANKUUS both declared for the Chesham, priced up at 3/1 and 5/1 respectively. Anyone going to have a punt on the Forecast?!

 

Could have them in doubles (8/1 and 3/1 = 35/1; 8/1 and 5/1 = 53/1). So if QK wins and one of C and F wins that's 17/1 or 26/1.

 

I'm thinking they should be ok on it, none of the runners so far seem to have a high knee action.

Having looked at Queen Kindly and Cunco both their dams had form on soft ground and Frankuus' dam although unplaced is by Linamix so on pedigree at least should handle it.

 

Quote from Richard Fahey on Queen Kindly:

"We've four runners at Royal Ascot on Friday and I'm really looking forward to seeing Queen Kindly in the Albany Stakes.

We're very happy with her, her home work has been excellent and she had a good introduction at Catterick. We'll find out here how good she is here but we feel she's pretty smart. I'm not too worried about the ground, I think she'll go on anything. Her dam won with some cut and her dad, Frankel, didn't seem to mind it either so I'm happy to run.

She was also in the Queen Mary earlier in the week but I'd heard the American filly was something special, and so it proved, but I was always keener on this race for my horse. I'm keen to step her up to six furlongs as it gives Jamie Spencer a chance to get her settled and race properly. They go very quick in a Queen Mary and you never get chance to ride a race. She's exciting."

 

I wish we had seen that before the Queen Mary

 

A first Stakes placed horse at the first attempt, you can't be disappointed with that and she'll definitely win a black-type race.

Can't help but think Jamie put her in a bit of a pocket and had to switch her round the group, but that's racing.

 

No, that's Frank Spencer Princess. She looked to have no chance. Great run from the filly

 

Fahey is disappointed, he's just said he expected to win so there's definitely more to come from her.

 

MAJORIS has been given two entries next Wednesday at Salisbury and Kempton.
