When in Doubt - Back a Frankel!

Tara Madgwick - Monday Mar 9

This is an important piece of advice to punters and if you followed it, you would be laughing after the big Canberra meeting on Sunday.

The champion Juddmonte based sire has a great record in Australia and Frankel featured with a stakes double in the nation’s capital starting with seven year-old gelding Green Fly (GB) winning the Listed National Sprint (1400m) for the Anthony and Sam Freedman stable at 9-2.

Green Fly is the lone winner for stakes-winning Pivotal mare Via Pisa, a half-sister to Champion Japanese 2YO Colt Admire Mars.

He followed up in the Listed Canberra Cup (2000m) where the Peter Snowden trained seven year-old Frankel gelding Touristic (GB) saluted at 8-1.

Touristic was already a stakes-winner and is the only winner from stakes-winning Shamardal mare Heuristique.

Frankel has 10 entries for the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale, click here to see them.
