Frankel and Excelebration will meet once again in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot
Frankel is all set to make his connections proud and claim a brilliant victory in the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot on 19th June, 2012, where he will possibly take on eleven other competitors.
Having bagged ten consecutive victories, there is nothing that will stand in the Sir Henry Cecil trained runner’s way and stop him from landing another one.
With his perfect record, Frankel is the dominating force in the market and will race as the favourite.
Excelebration is also running in this race, aiming to defeat his long-time rival in their fifth battle, the Aidan O’Brian charge has been trying with all his might, but has been beaten every time.
It is believed that despite all his efforts, Excelebration might still fall short of victory and trot behind Frankel.
Excelebration and Frankel recently collided in the Group 1 JLT Lockinge Stakes at Newbury on 19th May, 2012, where Frankel was crowned the winner, as he finished 5 lengths ahead of Excelebration.
David Stevens, representative of Coral, stated that odds seem to be tilting in Frankel’s favour and he will take home the money. He stated:
"We've always been huge fans and have never looked to take him on, and we can't see anything other than win number 11 in the Queen Anne, with Excelebration once again most likely to chase him home.
"We're betting on the winning distance as an alternative to the prohibitive race odds on offer, with a 10-length romp on offer at 10-1."
Due to Frankel’s dominance, Betfred is sending him out with a 1-5 chance; whereas Excelebration will race with a 5-1 shot and the A.P. O’Brien trained, So You Think, will enter the race with odds of 9 to 1.
So You Think, son of High Chaparral, out of Triassic, is stirring a significant amount of attention from the market based on his recent victory at Curragh.
On 27th May, 2012, the six-year-old competed in the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup, where he raced as the favourite and defeated the D.K. Weld trained, Famous Name, by a margin of six lengths.
