In 2011 and 2012, Frankel was red hot fav with seemingly not much competition and won accordingly.
This year Farhh was supplemented for 19.5K and won 64.5K.
For the 2013 renewal, I would like to see a few more entries to make it more of a showpiece. Every few days in the RP there is complaints about the standard of racing, low prize money, low attendances etc, but if the good small stables or moderate ones with group level horses don't make entries for the big races then I don't think they will get much sympathy, not from me anyway.
In essence, for todays race, Farhh only had to finish above the pacemaker to make his supplement profitable, plus on his stud portfolio it will say 2nd to the unbeaten to date Frankel.
If I had a half way decent miler I know where I'd be running it next year!
