Get more racing action on MORE4 for two weekends.

 
VIEWERS of Channel 4 Racing are regularly told that "you get more on Four" but viewers will this week quite literally get more on More4, with the network offering a longer than usual racing broadcast on its digital sister channel, writes Lee Mottershead

 

"With Channel 4 concentrating almost exclusively on the London Paralympics for the duration of the games, racing has been moved  to More4 (Sky channel 138)  (Freeview 14 ) as was the case last year when Channel 4 televised the world athletics championship.

 

"As an added incentive to tune in to More4 , viewers of the Morning Line will be able to hear the thoughts of Racing Post Saturday columnist David Ashforth, who's new book. Racing Crazy: "The Best of David Ashforth, is published by the Racing Post Book on Friday."

FRANKEL
THE EARLY YEARS

 Julian Muscat looks back at Frankel's life as a foal to the day he arrived at Warren Place. Accompanied by a gorgeous photograph of Frankel as a foal, born in Box 5 at
Banstead Manor Stud.  

Standing there as photographed,  you can see that Frankel  is very much his own little


person.  It can be noted in this photograph that FRANKEL has quite long pasterns with quite chunky fetlock joints.
 
 

 
"The pastern consists of two bones, the uppermost called the "large pastern bone" or proximal phalanx, which begins just under the fetlock joint, and the lower called the "small pastern bone" or middle phalanx, located between the large pastern bone and the coffin bone, outwardly located at approximately the coronary band.

The book was given to the legendary singer by his Uncle Vester and Aunt Clettes for his first Christmas at his Graceland home in 1957.

Its 1,600 pages contain annotations by Presley, who died on 16 August 1977.
One note reads: "To judge a man by his weakest link or deed is like judging the power of the ocean by one wave."

 FRANKEL

(foaled 11 February 2008)

Sire GALILEO (IRE) b 1998 - Dam KIND (IRE) b. 2001

JMC AN INTERESTING RP SPECIAL FOCUS TODAY.
 

RP ASK " WOULD THE ARC BE A RACE TOO FAR FOR THE BEST HORSE IN THE WORLD?"
 

RP Nicholas Godfrey (editorial editor), Tony Morris (breeding guru) Tom O'Ryan (reporter and former jockey), Tom Pennington (bloodstock world), and  Graham Rodway (trading post) assess the options for connections of the wonder horse as they plan the denouement to a career that has touched us all....
 

A Bloodhorse Literate Opinion? 
 
Or a Bloodhorse Illiterate opinion?
 
 What difference to FRANKEL the colt?
 



TOM O'RYAN (bloodhorse literate)
"Were FRANKEL to run in and win the Champion Stakes would it enhance his standing and legacy?
"Of course it would. It would extend his unbeaten sequence to 14 wins and bring his Group 1 victories into double figures. It would also enable him to add a second mile-and-a-quarter triumph to his total dominance over a mile.  The unbeaten tag is important to his legacy."
 
" What considerations need to be taken into account when deciding if FRANKEL should contest the Prix de L'Arc  de Triomphe?
"Whether it would be in FRANKEL'S best interest is the main one. Others are size of field, the possibility of soft ground, allied to the step up in distance, meeting trouble in running in a notoriously rough race and whether he would truly stay. I think a lot of people who previously said the only way he'd get a mile and a half would be in a horsebox were left to question that judgement after he settled so well and stayed an extended mile and a quarter so stoutly at York. But I don't believe he will be tried over it."


NICHOLAS GODFREY
"Were FRANKEL to run in and win the Champion Stakes would it enhance his standing and legacy?
"Perhaps more than might be readily acknowledged right now. The intention is clearly for the Champion Stakes to become recognised as Britain's true championship event, at the world 'Classic' distance of a mile and a quarter, with the biggest prize fund. It will take a while but in decades to come having FRANKEL'S name on this role of honour may well add to his legacy. Closer to hand, it wouldn't hurt to have another top event over a mile and a quarter on his cv.
 
" What considerations need to be taken into account when deciding if FRANKEL should contest the Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe?
"The main one whether connections think he will win, so we're talking about issues like trip and ground, as with any other race. A messy race and pure bad luck are always worries at Longchamp, but most of the greats can overcome any such issues.
"Still FRANKEL has never been bumped around and never been oversees and his long stride requires a proper gallop, so their are questions. Less prosaically, and maybe more crucially, there is the issue of 'legacy': winning the Arc would plainly add something more, something exciting, something unarguable, to the career record of the best horse I have ever seen.


GRAEME RODWAY "No. His legacy as one of the greats, and probably the greatest of all time, is already in place."

 
JMC Comment
FRANKEL would have never reached his present status as an unbeaten world renowned racehorse if FRANKEL had been placed by the owner within a bloodhorse illiterate environment, or an unbalanced bloodhorse literate team environment, handled and ridden by the bloodhorse illiterate, FRANKEL'S talents would never have been allowed to see the light of day, leave alone to develop. The key factor balance needs to be true professional  bloodhorse literacy. (Grade A)

TRUE BLOODHORSE LITERATE DAILY WORKING SKILLS 
 WITHIN 'TEAM CECIL'

 
With Bloodhorse Literate Handler Rider  SHANE FETHERSTONHAUGH (Grade A)
 
Handler Presenter at York last week  SANDEEP GUAVARAM (Grade C)
 
 TEAM CECIL  have been  carefully working with FRANKEL every single day since he was placed with Sir Henry in training by his owner, breeder  Prince Khalid Abdullah  as a yearling (2009) as a two year old (2010)  as a three year old (2011) and this year (2012) as a four year old. Without the skills of the daily bloodhorse literate we would most probably never have heard of FRANKEL.
 

When watching FRANKEL and TOM QUEALLY racing we are seeing the result of the daily imput of days, weeks, months, years, of other people's work going on behind the scenes with FRANKEL. (Join Up as Monty Roberts describes bloodhorse literacy)" .
 
 
Sir Henry is always most careful to tell us where FRANKEL will run next, according to FRANKEL how he comes out of his last race.
 
Everything depends upon FRANKEL'S wellbeing and rightly so.

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE TWO LEGGED VARIETY
ROBERT JULIAN FRANKEL 
 1941 - 2009
 
Robert Julian Frankel[2] (July 9, 1941 – November 16, 2009) was an American thoroughbred race horse trainer whom ESPN called "one of the most successful and respected trainers in the history of thoroughbred racing."[3] He was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1995, and was a five-time winner of the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Trainer. Often referred to as "Bobby" by others, he preferred and always used "Robert." [4] Frankel set the single-season world record for most Grade/Group I victories in 2003 with 25 Grade I wins, a record he still holds.[5]   



ZARATHUSTRA
(1951 - 1967)

"Unusually for a future champion stayer, Zarathustra demonstrated precocious speed, winning three times as a two-year-old over the minimum distance of five furlongs. "
 

Zarathustra (1951 - 1967) was a black thoroughbred racehorse, born at Graymount in Antrim, Northern Ireland in 1951.
Owned by Terence Gray (Wei Wu Wei),  Zarathustra  was first trained by Michael Hurley in Ireland, becoming the winner of the Irish Derby and the Irish St. Leger in 1954.
 Zarathustra transfer to Newmarket, Suffolk in 1956, to be trained by Cecil Boyd-Rochfort winning the Ascot Stakes in 1956. In 1957, ridden by renowned jockey Lester Piggott, Zarathustra won the Ascot Gold Cup in the first of Piggott's eleven wins of that race.

1953–1956: Ireland

Unusually for a future champion stayer, Zarathustra demonstrated precocious speed, winning three times as a two-year-old over the minimum distance of five furlongs. The most important of these was the Blake Plate at Phoenix Park. In 1955 he was one of the best horses in Ireland, winning the Irish Derby and the Irish St. Leger as well as the Desmond Plate at the Curragh. Following his win in the Irish Derby, Gray reportedly turned down an offer of £20,000 for the horse.[1] As a four-year-old Zarathustra won the Royal Whip Stakes.
 

1956–1957: Britain

After one unsuccessful run in early 1956 he was transferred to England where he was trained at Newmarket, Suffolk by Cecil Boyd-Rochfort. By the end of the season he had won four races in Britain including the Ascot Stakes (by five lengths)[2] and the Goodwood Cup. In 1957 Zarathustra sustained a fracture to his cannon bone which threatened his racing career.[1] After spending two months recuperating in his stable he returned to the racecourse to run in the Ascot Gold Cup. The stable jockey, Harry Carr preferred to ride the Queen's runner Atlas, leaving Zarathustra to be ridden by Lester Piggott.[3] After racing just behind the leaders, Zarathustra took the lead early in the straight and won the race by one and a half lengths from the St Leger winner Cambremer.[4]
Exported to Japan in 1964, he died there in 1967.
