SHARE SOME MAGICAL MOMENTS AT YORK WITH FRANKEL AND TRAINER TEAM CECIL THIS AFTERNOON  (3:40) (CH4)

Extracts from the life and times of FRANKEL characters and horses, going about their varied tasks on the racecourse, at exercise, on the gallops, in the paddocks and in the stable yard. The vital key bloodhorse literate home work that goes into the preparation of FRANKEL for this day and the results of those efforts .... win loose or draw .... big winners, brave losers. Brave Team Leader Sir Henry Cecil undergoing recent cancer treatment leaving him feeling drained and weak, the standard of Sir Henry's bloodhorse literacy has moved and inspired us over decades.

RP TODAY'S BIG TALKING POINT

TOM O' RYAN on the acid test for a superstar who has so far proved flawless .

"Hold your breath as FRANKEL faces the unknown ....

 

"WHAT a way to start a festival. Four day's of spectacular action in the White Rose county and York awaits, in all its August glory, to welcome a superstar.

 

"Expectations are that the world's highest -rated racehorse will put an extra 5,000 clicks on the turnstiles.

 

"The Juddmonte International is a special race. Not only is it the richest contest  - worth £725,000 - ever staged on the famous Knavesmire, it is sponsored by Khalid Abdullah, one of British racing's greatest supporters and fittingly the proud owner breeder of arguably the finest, most talented racehorses most of us have ever seen .
