Moody blues! Peter Moody continues to hand out some tongue-in-cheek chat to the UK racing press as D-Day nears for Black Caviar's Royal Ascot assignment. PM says UK superhorse Frankel had never been asked to travel outside Britain. He says: 'We all saw the best local horse Frankel win here on Tuesday, but he's never going to leave the UK, his owners will never take him away from home...But this mare's owners have had the balls to put her on a plane and travel halfway around the world. That is so
Moody blues! Peter Moody continues to hand out some tongue-in-cheek chat to the UK racing press as D-Day nears for Black Caviar's Royal Ascot assignment. PM says UK superhorse Frankel had never been asked to travel outside Britain. He says: 'We all saw the best local horse Frankel win here on Tuesday, but he's never going to leave the UK, his owners will never take him away from home...But this mare's owners have had the balls to put her on a plane and travel halfway around the world. That is something phenomenal...Imagine having something this good and sharing it with the rest of the world!'
UK journos and fans rave about Frankel - but on facts and form So You Think eclipses him easily. Frankel has only raced against more 10 or more rivals three times. In other races he faced only 5-7-3-8-5-5-4-2 rivals. He's never raced beyond 1600m and has won only at 1400m and 1600m. In contrast, So You Think has won 14 of 21 turf starts in races between 1400m and 3200m. He's won over 1400m, 1800m, 2000m and 2200m. He's won 10 Grp 1 races and ran 3rd in the Melbourne Cup.
