Frankel

well you can look at the way he runs and the action with which he runs, none of which suggest he will run effectively over dirt. There is nothing wrong with that, but to say hes the best is premature. Nothing wrong with being Oasis Dream

What about the way he runs and his action signify he can't run on dirt?

By the way, Oasis Dream was a 5-6f specialist. Frankel has never raced shorter than 7f in 5 starts.

For soon-to-be fans of Native Khan, because of the Fallon suspension Peslier just got the mount...

Apparently he's passing trains now. They say, of course, to take that with a grain of salt, but the image made me smile. I can't help thinking of Bobby every time I read about this horse, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Thanks for that - can't wait until Saturday.

From the way the article potrays him as a near "run off", he might be the first 2000 Guineas winner who's odds for the Derby go up after the Newmarket race.

Of course, thanks to Tom Amoss, we know he won't ever handle the dirt, but I wonder if the colt will stay a mile and a half.

Haha, I loved the bit about the train!

But possibly the best Cecil has ever trained? That's a huge call.
