Train on track to help Frankel

FRANKEL is likely to have the help of his stablemate and three-parts brother Bullet Train as a pacemaker in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot next month.

Bullet Train leads the brilliant three-year-old colt in all his work at home and trainer Henry Cecil wants to ensure the Qipco-sponsored Group One over a mile is run at a proper gallop.

“I don’t want Frankel to lead all the way. Hopefully there will be a decent pace and we don’t need Bullet Train, but he is there to make sure it is a sensible pace for Frankel whatever the others do,” said the Warren Place maestro.
