An all-star line-up of runners to compete in the JLT Lockinge Stakes in May, 2012
Frankel, the undefeated four-year-old colt, is looking to add more victories to his magnificent record by participating in the JLT Lockinge Stakes, which will be held on 19th May, 2012 at Newbury.
Trained by Sir Henry Cecil for owner Khalid Abdulla, the young runner triumphed in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes Sponsored By Qipco (British Champions Mile) at Ascot on 15th October, 2011.
He raced as a favourite with the odds of 4 to 11, and defeated, Excelebration, by a wide margin of 4 lengths.
Excelebration, son of Exceed And Excel, out of mare Sun Shower, will also compete in the event. He has a rivalry with Frankel, as they faced off in the Totesport.com Greenham Stakes at Newbury on 16th April, 2011.
Mounted by Adam Kirby, he fell four lengths behind Frankel. It will be an exciting event if these runners compete in the event to come.
Trained by A.P. O’Brien for owners, Manfredini, Tabor, Smith and Magnier, the four-year-old colt succeeded in the Qatar Prix Du Moulin De Longchamp (Group 1) (3yo+ Colts, Fillies & Mares) at Longchamp on 11th September, 2011.
O’Brien might enter, So You Think, in the line-up. The six-year-old has attracted significant market attention over the years, as he has been race favourite for most of his career.
The son of High Chaparral, out of mare Triassic, previously claimed a victory in the Red Mills Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown on 3rd September, 2011. He raced as a favourite with the odds of 1 to 4, and defeated, Snow
Fairy, by a narrow margin of ½ a length.
Richard Hannon will be including, Dubawi Gold, in the line-up for this event. Owned by Andrew Tinkler, the four-year-old colt will be a solid threat in this event as he demonstrated his talent on the track before.
He succeeded over Set The Trend in the Betfair Celebration Mile at Goodwood on 27th August, 2011 by ½ a length, when he was mounted by Richard Hughes.
Cityscape, trained by Robert Charlton, may also be included in the lineup, as he bagged a tremendous victory in the Dubai Duty Free Sponsored By Dubai Duty Free at Meydan on 31st March, 2012.
With a star-studded line-up, this event is already anxiously awaited by many.
