    Anyone backing the superstar Frankel tommorow in the Lockinge stakes at Newbury ?

    Can he make it 10 wins out of 10 races ?

    Personally I am taking an each way chance on Strong suit.

    Stupid ante post rules :(

    Frankel is to low a price so I have gone each way on Dubawi gold at 50-1 , 2nd to Frankel last year and the ground is better suited to him than it is to Excelebration.

    Someone has to take 2nd place so let's see ?

    when dealing with superstars like frankel or black caviar, mere mortals don't have the funds to back at those short prices, or risk it
    It worth choosing the place money
    I think best way is just back the place not the win on betfair, saves throwing the win money away

    edit: only 7 runners now as 1 pulled out so you have to predict second
    might be better off selecting forecast

    frankel and excelebration I think

    windsor palace is just the pacemaker horse, did win last out at big odds for that reason last time but back to using the old pacemaker jocker this time
    bullet train same thing. he wouldnt be allowed to beat frankel trainers orders even if he could

    i still fully expect frankel to win and has always beaten excelebration the next best when met

    strong suit was hannons best but is now pulled, he won last year (hannon), other horse wont feature I dont think, dubawi gold

    now I might be completely wrong but Hills has great form as a trainer and is very shrewd and his bro always rides, they've chosen fallon this time
    although form doesn't look amazing, I just feel he may get the place so,

    'ransom note' for me, the place
    it's a gamble as excelebration should get second but going for the bigger price on a hunch. only got couple quid on it for fun

    and that's the result

    1 Frankel
    2 Excelebration

    didn't do the bet as couldn't see on betfair how to do the forecast
    odds not that high anyway

    again, those with loads of money would have won loads
    100k on frankel, 33 profit in 3 minutes


    the good news, the bookies would have lost a small fortune :D

    That was like a bunch of crawling babies chasing a grown man, Frankel didn't even have to try.

    Now it's time for Frankel to have Cavier for breakfast as in Black Cavier :p

    Great posts pred, I was also thinking excelebration would come in at second place, but was hoping he wouldn't. Didn't lose much so was worth a punt :)
