Another Melbourne Cup-hoping Frankel ran in the Geelong Cup today: Finche [Frankel (GB) - Binche (USA) (Woodman (USA))]. He was an encouraging 3rd.

Rostropovich [Frankel (GB) - Tyranny (GB) (Machiavellian (USA))] has accepted for the Cox Plate.

Both did well in the Cup
Finche 4th,,dryer ground would have helped
Rostropovich 5th,,ditto

29 stakes winners as of early September

And read not that long ago that Frankel had winners in 11 different countries

Getting good results
As a result his stud fee has increased from £125,000 to £175,000 & may increase again

From what I can see,,Frankel has four runners this Saturday
New Horizons in Brisbane
Significance & Frankely Awesome & He's Eminent in Sydney

Frankely Awesome & He's Eminent look the best of that bunch

farooq spelling at the moment
had another 4 starts best result 2nd geelong classic
other runs in good class races
good 1st up record so am awaiting his return

Not bad stats to date for Frankel
14% Group winners to runners & 18% black-type winners to runners

Hey kiwiz, is that northern hemisphere only or all
