Gold can take silver in cracking QEII

FOR two reasons, I’m not going to even attempt to get Frankel beaten in today’s QEII Stakes at Ascot.

Gold can take silver in cracking QEII

Firstly, I truly feel it would be a fruitless task, and, secondly - for reason less hard-nosed - I don’t particularly want to see him beaten. If I thought there was a profit in it, I might be open to the idea but even taking him on at odds of 1-3 is likely to end in disappointment - and who wants to be disappointed watching Frankel win?

His presence on the card gives some credibility to the name Champions’ Day and it’ll be a let-down of huge proportions to fans and organisers alike if he is eclipsed.
