Why couldn't he find a nice lopping 1400m maiden to kick him off in ? I hope he wins on Saturday but seriously a 1000m down the straight is just idiotic. Frankel colt ready for Flemington debutBy AAP One look at a Frankel colt at a Sydney Easter yearling sale was enough for Robbie Laing to hunt out potential buyers. With a reserve of $500,000, Laing took a gamble on the colt after he was passed in at auction for $475,000. That 2016 purchase, named Frankel My Dear, makes his racetrack debut in the VRC Members Pavillion Handicap on Saturday. Laing expected the colt to fetch considerably more that the reserve and began investigations soon after the colt left the sale ring. "There was a problem with his off fore," Laing said. "It could have been bone, it could have been a callous or it could have been ligament but a soft tissue scan revealed he'd had a knock on his sesamoid. "There was a little bit more bone than normal, but the suspensory was in the right spot and the ligaments were all okay. "The reserve was $500,000, so we got him for that." Longtime clients Ray and Susie Montague took a share after Ray saw a show on Frankel's trainer Henry Cecil on a flight home from London and wanted one of Frankel's progeny. Laing said Pakenham trainer Frankie Stockdale also has a small share after seeing the colt at the sale. The trainer is expecting the 1000m trip to be too short on Saturday and will be happy providing the colt is hitting the line strongly. He's already contemplating the Caulfield Guineas with the three-year-old and the possibility of a Victoria Derby start. "Frankel himself only won up to 2000 (metres) but this horse is steeped in stamina on the dam side," Laing said. "He's not a nuggety sprinting type. He's an elegant athletic sort of a horse. "I've seen a couple of Frankel's race, Darren Weir's (New Horizons) and Chris Waller's (Merovee) and this horse is a mirror image of Frankel. "The good thing about him is we thought he was alright three months ago and every time I've recently put him down he's been producing on the track." Frankel My Dear won a Cranbourne jumpot last month before pleasing his trainer in a grass gallop with older galloper Jaws Of Steel on Tuesday. "He's bred to stay but he's got a good turn of foot and goes into the race very fit," Laing said. ------------- reductio ad absurdum |

Very disappointing to see him labouring home beaten 3 or 4 lengths. Very poorly placed. Hopefully they find a 1400 or 1600 maiden for him. ------------- reductio ad absurdum |

Frankel My Dear’s trial, with Adivinar,,,,, were both very good over 800m at Cranbourne on Monday in the quickest time. I expect this guy to test the fav (Vitani) t’nite. ------------- Current Stable - Soul Star & Adivinar + Lady Vega |

Nice win today. Outclassed most of them. One would hope he never starts below a mile again. ------------- reductio ad absurdum |

17th November when Frankel My Dearvran poorly Laing reported that the horse had mucus in the throat. He has had 2 relatively quick starts 28th and today, since then and run poorly on both occasions. ------------- reductio ad absurdum |

It's possible the horse is no good. It's likely the trainer is no good
It's highly likely both are no good.

Bit harsh to bag the horse after only 9 career runs, especially when he hasn’t yet been tested at distances that his bloodlines suggest would be most suitable. His dad is Frankel, whose best progeny to date are proving to be 2000-2400m horses. Whilst mum is a half sister to Might & Power (super horse at 2000m+), by Rainbow Quest who sired heaps of excellent stayers in the 1990’s. I’m sure a trainer as smart as Robbie Laing has a long term plan with him. |

Yep, race him out of his class or distance capability before losing him to David Hayes who promptly gelds the horse leading to little discernible improvement in performance.
Oops, may be confusing him with So Si Bon.

He has not finished off any of his races since the mucus. The trainer is a sweetheart going through the motions. ------------- reductio ad absurdum |

Wins fresh first up in low grade. Wins second up whilst still fresh 4 weeks later. Runs poorly on quickish backup. MUCUS 3 runs since that MUCUS run with less than 2 weeks between each run. Very very poor trainer. ------------- reductio ad absurdum |

Acceptor for a BM58 over 2418m at Geelong on Boxing Day. Frankel progeny seem to go well over longer trips in the UK, so it will be interesting to see how this stallion goes on Wednesday. |

The horse needs a rest. Since the mucus incident he has not put any effort into his finish and he keeps running every 10 days or so. This is just a monumental kiss up. ------------- reductio ad absurdum |

He has the pleasure of dropping back to 1500m on Sunday. This will be his 8th run since resuming. This will be his 6tn run since the mucus affair. The gap between runs again just 11 days. He will travel like the winner on Sunday but when the pressure goes on he will have little in the tank. This has been deplorable. ------------- reductio ad absurdum |
