3.10 Goodwood
Qipco Sussex Stakes (British Champions Series) (Group 1)
(Class 1) (3YO plus)
Winner £179,487
Advice: 2.5 pts Frankel to win by 5 to 8 lengths inclusive
(6/4 Bolyes)
Bullet Train: Useful in his own right but pacemaker for
Frankel. 
Farhh: Turned from handicapper into Group 1 horse in matter
of three runs as he bolted away with Htirks Hunt Cup and then looked unlucky to
finish second in Prince Of Wales’s Stakes, an impression he confirmed when a
close second to Nathaniel in Coral Eclipse; Second best easily here and would
have a very good chance of winning here if it wasn’t for him being against
Frankel.
Frankel: Confirmed impression that he gave of being on a
different planet to everything else with stunning Queen Anne win at Royal
Ascot, his seventh Group 1 and his most impressive win of all; Should win well
before tackling bigger and better tests here. 
Gabrial: Turned into a very useful colt in short space of
time, overcoming unlucky seasonal reappearance with big handicap win in Betfred
Bowl and unlucky not place in Group 1 St James’s Palace at Ascot last time out;
That form a world away from this and looks inferior to Farhh here.
VERDICT: This is a cakewalk for FRANKEL, who will make it 12
from 12 with ease, having reached a huge peak in the Queen Anne when showing us
his pull performance at 4 in breathaking style, With only three rivals, the
same might not be evident but he’s here to be enjoyed and we should savour him.
The value in the race for betting interests might be the 8/11 on him winning by
more than 6 lengths or the 6/5 on him winning between 5 and 8 lengths
inclusively, as you’d expect him to have that much in hand of Farhh easily. Those
who want some special interest in the winning distances might back him on the
handicap at 11/4 with Hills. To win he must beat Farhh by more than 8, Gabrial
by 13 lengths and Bullet Train by 15 lengths, and while it seems far-fetched,
if let of the leash he seems well capable for those who fancy it.
