Derby or Ascot next for mighty Frankel

HENRY CECIL has confirmed Frankel’s next race will be either the Investec Derby at Epsom or Royal Ascot’s St James’s Palace Stakes.

Plenty was expected of the unbeaten colt in Saturday’s Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, but even his most ardent supporters could not have dared dream of the scintillating performance he produced.

Totally ignoring expected pacemaker Rerouted, Tom Queally soon sent Frankel to the lead and he galloped his Classic rivals into the ground to secure a famous win.
