Frankel poised for further glory

Frankel has long ceased to be a lucrative betting option but very few will be hoping for anything other than another impressive victory for the world’s top racehorse as he lines up in the Qipco Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.

Just three rivals, including his own lead horse and pacemaker Bullet Train, stand in the way of Henry Cecil’s colt taking his career record to a perfect 12 and those who like to back short-priced favourites will find no better odds than 1-16 at this stage.

Last year’s renewal saw Frankel tear the brilliant Canford Cliffs apart and he looked as impregnable as ever on his most recent start in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot.
