FRANKEL
FACTOR BOOSTS CROWD
Newmarket
Racecourses managing director Amy Starkey is pleased to report an 18 per cent
attendance increase today on Betfred Cambridgeshire Day.
The
'Frankel Factor' helped boost the crowd as 8,510 people came to the Rowley
Mile Racecourse as opposed to 7,223 for the same day in 2011.
Starkey
said: "Frankel's gallop prior to racing really added to the day and made
it feel extra special.
"With
two Group Ones, a Group Two and a historic and valuable handicap, it is
already a fantastic day's racing.
"But
having Frankel with us ensured a great atmosphere on the racecourse and that
stayed right throughout the day.
"We
are pleased that there was an additional 1,300 people here than for the same
card last year.
"But
we believe that there is potential for further growth for this fixture and
the team will continue to work hard to build on today's increase next year
and beyond.
PROSSER
DELIGHTED WITH MEETING
Newmarket
clerk of the course and director of racing Michael Prosser expressed himself
thrilled with the second staging of the new-look Cambridgeshire Festival.
He
said: "It has been an absolute pleasure to work at the meeting.
"The
racing has been outstanding and there has been depth to all of the races
across the three days.
"The
meeting has really moved on from last year when we staged the first
Cambridgeshire since the reshuffling of fixtures to do with British Champions
Day.
"The
track has ridden well and has been praised by trainers and jockeys over the
course of the meeting.
"We
still have plenty to look forward to here with racing next weekend and then
Future British Champions Day in two weeks' time."
ALL
GOOD AT NEWMARKET
The
going remains
GOOD
for the
third and final day of the Cambridgeshire Festival at Newmarket's Rowley Mile
Racecourse.
Betfred
Cambridgeshire Day features Frankel's gallop before racing and terrific
racing all afternoon.
It was
dry overnight and the forecast is for the weather to remain dry with sunny
spells.
Michael
Prosser, the clerk of the course, said at 8am: "The track is in very,
very good condition. It obviously had a lot of summer rainfall and there is a
really dense sward of grass and the track has held up well.
"We
have had a lot of runners, more than last year, but the track has been evenly
used, with the stalls positioned to accommodate that.
"The
going is good. The times have been pretty quick over the last two days but
there has been a tailwind and even today there is one slightly behind but not
as strong as yesterday.
"I
think the track is very even (across). The GoingStick readings show this and
I honestly believe it is where the pace is that matters. Richard Hughes
commented after the Silver Cambridgeshire yesterday that they went very fast
on the far side. At halfway, the far side were probably three lengths in
front and I think Shamdarley ran a blinder to finish third given the speed
they went.
"Frankel
will arrive here at about 12.35pm with two gallop companions. It will be
treated as a raceday. They will go to the pre-parade ring, have a good wander
around, then get tacked up and come into the parade ring. They will work,
with Frankel returning to the winner's enclosure."

FRANKEL
THE APPETISER
The
expectation this morning at Newmarket's Rowley Mile Racecourse is high, with
the world's highest-rated racehorse, Frankel, working and then terrific
racing, which includes two Group Ones and the Betfred Cambridgeshire.
The Racing
Post says: "Newmarket will serve up the ultimate in appetisers at
lunchtime today when Frankel works with two stable companions as he builds
toward his next assignment, Ascot's QIPCO Champion Stakes in three
weeks."
Racing
Plus reiterates Frankel's scarcity value: "Racegoers will get
what is likely to be a penultimate glimpse of Frankel at Newmarket this
afternoon."
The
Daily Telegraph concentrates on yesterday's racing at Newmarket rather than
looking forward to today. Racing correspondent JA McGrath wrote "Certify
was probably not seen at her best yesterday but she still outclassed a good
collection of juveniles in the Shadwell Fillies' Mile at Newmarket and is now
as low as 6/1 favourite for next year's QIPCO 1,000 Guineas."
The
Guardian also gives most space to what happened at Newmarket yesterday
through Greg Wood's report but Will Hayler, in his TV tips, does preview
today's racing. Hayler reckons: "A change of luck would not come amiss
for Mijhaar who can finally take the big prize he deserves in the Betfred
Cambridgeshire at Newmarket today."
The
Times has a different policy, with today's action the main focus. Rob
Wright leads off by saying: "Frankie Dettori has competition in his role
as first jockey to Godolphin, but the Italian is riding as well as ever and
can steer Man Of Action to victory in the Betfred Cambridgeshire at Newmarket
today."
Alan
Lee, racing correspondent, writes in his Weekend Watch: "Such is the
celebrity status of Frankel and his frail but formidable trainer that their
every appearance carries the mass appeal of a farewell tour by musical
legends. Even their rehearsals can draw a crowd and the Rowley Mile will be
animated from 12.30pm this afternoon when Sir Henry Cecil puts his unbeaten
star through the simulation of a proper race."
Chris
McGrath in The Independent also starts his article with Frankel:
"For many at Newmarket today, even 35 thoroughbreds disputing one of the
most venerable prizes in the calendar cannot begin to match the spectacle
promised before racing has even begun."
The
Sun's Favourite pullout deals with the races, with lead tipster
Templegate plumping for Bronze Angel in the Betfred Cambridgeshire, while
Claude Duval's feature is about champion jockey-elect Richard Hughes.
Frankel
gets more of a look-in from Starform, the Star's pullout, in which
Mark Winstanley goes for Chil The Kite in the Betfred Cambridgeshire.
Newsboy
in the Mirror Racing agrees with Winstanley, while Frankie Dettori
highlights the chance of Man Of Action.
Marcus
Townend, the racing correspondent of the Daily Mail, highlights Lester
Piggott being celebrated at Haydock Park today, while his report from
Newmarket yesterday centres on Certify.
There
are three paragraphs of editorial among the Daily Express's racing
coverage, with tipster Bev Swingell going for Loving Spirit in the Betfred
Cambridgeshire.
FRANKEL
ENJOYS ROWLEY MILE WORKOUT
Henry
Cecil made a rare racecourse appearance to witness Frankel, the world's
highest-rated racehorse, work over nine furlongs on the Rowley Mile ahead of
his next, and most likely final, start in the QIPCO Champion Stakes at Ascot
on October 20.
Cecil
has employed similar tactics ahead of some of Frankel's previous 13 outings
and an appreciative crowd gathered around the parade ring to see him stretch
his legs before Tom Queally got on board.
Frankel
headed down to the starting point of the gallop and, as the action got
underway, his stablemates Bullet Train and Specific Gravity led him at a
decent pace.
Specific
Gravity dropped away three furlongs out and Frankel took over from his usual
lead horse Bullet Train over two furlongs from home before extending away to
cross the line some 12 lengths to the good.
Cecil,
who is currently battling ill health, said: "I am doing fine but I am
getting tired and I need a good holiday.
"He
has had a good blow which is what we wanted as this is not D-Day.
"We
came here instead of running in the Moulin last weekend as I thought this
would be a better idea.
"I
think he will be retired after Ascot but that is the Prince's decision."
Queally
said after dismounting: "That is the first time I have sat on him since
winning at York and he seems as good as ever.
"He
felt fine and that is exactly what you would be looking for.
"He
has had a blow afterwards, which is what you would want, and he is 100% on
target for Ascot."
Frankel
was carrying his owner Khalid Abdulla's colours during the gallop, and
afterwards his racing manager, Teddy Grimthorpe, said: "He has done
everything that we hoped he would and Tom said that he was very pleased as
Frankel sorted himself out and had a stretch.
"He
has had a bit of a blow which was the idea as we wanted to give him a good
workout.
"We
wanted to do something to keep him up to speed and he has done it with the
mininum of fuss and they have gone a good, solid pace from the off.
"It
was very kind of Newmarket to allow us to come and he has enjoyed himself.
They were race-like conditions and it was a bit more than a usual workout as
we wanted to press him a bit more and use more energy and strength.
"It
will also help his mental state and keep him a lean, mean, killing machine.
"Frankel
never disappoints and he comes out like that every day of the week.
"He
is no pussy cat and he does like to be the boss. He is a big, robust and
domineering horse but mentally he is much more the finished article.
"As
for his retirement you never say never. Everyone has enjoyed Frankel and he
has been truly wonderful for Prince Khalid. Retirement will be entirely his
decision as he bred and has owned him and has made all the right calls so it
is up to him as to when the curtain comes down."
CONNECTIONS
PLEASED AFTER FRANKEL'S GALLOP
Frankel
continued his preparation for the QIPCO Champion Stakes at Ascot on October
20, with a nine-furlong racecourse gallop on Newmarket's Rowley Mile today.
The four-year-old teamed up with big-race rider Tom Queally for the first
time since their seven-length romp in the Juddmonte International at York on
August 22. The four-year-old was accompanied by regular work companion and
pacemaker Bullet Train and Specific Gravity, owned by the Niarchos Family.
The
intention of the gallop was to replicate a race and Frankel's three-parts
brother Bullet Train, under regular work rider Danny Dunnachie, set a solid
gallop with Specific Gravity and Frankel's work rider Shane Fetherstonhaugh
tracking him, while Frankel was anchored at the back of the trio.
As they
approached the final four furlongs, Specific Gravity dropped away and Frankel
ranged up alongside Bullet Train before stretching clear in effortless
fashion inside the final two furlongs.
Queally
said: "Frankel felt fine. That is exactly what we were looking for and
he still has a bit of work to do before the Champion Stakes. The last time I
rode him was at York so it's nice to get back on him."
Cecil
said: "Frankel has had a nice blow and he would have wanted to do as
it's not D-Day yet. It was nice to come here as I don't think going to the
Prix du Moulin would have achieved anything."
Lord
Grimthorpe,racing manager to Frankel's owner Khalid Abdulla, said:
"Frankel has done everything we hoped he would do in the gallop. Tom
(Queally) was pleased because once he sorted himself out, he really stretched
and he has had a little blow.
"The
whole idea of this was to give him something a little bit extra so the gallop
has achieved that and it's amazing to see all the people who have come to see
him.
"I
think the gallop today will keep him up to speed which is the most important
thing and he has done it with the minimum of fuss which is the most important
thing. He has travelled like he normally does and he has just been his normal
self.
"It
was a good solid pace from the word go and Danny (Dunnachie) rides Bullet
Train regularly so he knows the sort of pace he needs to go. The gallop is
also about keeping Frankel lean and mean and reminding him that he still has
work to do.
"The
QIPCO Champion Stakes is likely to be Frankel's last race. I would never say
never but it's Prince Khalid's (Abdulla) call and it will be his decision.
Neither me or Sir Henry are going to suddenly come and say he is going for
this, that and the other.
"We
have had three fantastic years with Frankel and if people haven't made up
their minds about him then they haven't been watching the same races I
have."
INDUSTRY
VIEW OF FRANKEL'S GALLOP
Before
racing on Betfred Cambridgeshire day, racegoers were given the treat of
seeing the world's greatest racehorse, Frankel, in a gallop.
An
expectant crowd lined the parade ring as Frankel and his two stable
companions were led around, before being taken out on to the course for a
nine-furlong gallop.
Frankel
sat third of the group before pulling easily away from his stable companions
to be greeted by a round of applause and cheers from the packed stands.
Among
the excited gathering were industry professionals who gave their views on
Frankel after the gallop.
Andy
Oliver, who saddles Sendmylovetorose in the Jaguar Cars Cheveley Park Stakes,
said: "He looked fantastic, to see a horse of that calibre close up is
worth it, no matter that you work with horses. It is always very
interesting."
Tom
Goff, chairman of Blandford Bloodstock, said: "It is wonderful to see
him. I think it is great that Prince Khalid (Abdulla), Teddy (Lord
Grimthorpe) and Sir Henry (Cecil) have allowed the Newmarket crowd to catch
one more glimpse of such a remarkable racehorse."
Alan
McCabe, trainer of Levitate in the Betfred Cambridgeshire, said: "He
looks fantastic, obviously Sir Henry (Cecil) knew what he wanted to do today
and his objective was achieved. Frankel strode away nicely, nothing to write
home about - but he is just an awesome horse."
Grant
Pritchard-Gordon, former racing manager to Prince Khalid Abdulla and
owner-founder of Badgers Bloodstock, said: "I just think it is the most
amazing thing that probably more people turned up today to see his racecourse
gallop than turned up yesterday for a Group One.
"What
we really need is a great racehorse and people flock to see them and that is
what has happened today.
"Frankel
looked fantastic, he has as an extravagant action as ever and looked very
well. It is great that Sir Henry (Cecil) and Mr Fetherstonhaugh (Frankel's
usual work rider) settled him and that we have got a horse here that is in
such a relaxed mood, looking so wonderful and pleasing so many people."
Emma
Berry, journalist and photographer, said: "It was absolutely tremendous
and great to see him stretch out. I can't wait to see him on QIPCO Champions
Day."

Frankel
In 13
racecourse appearances, the unbeaten Frankel has more than proved a fitting
tribute to the legendary US trainer Bobby Frankel, who provided owner/breeder
Khalid Abdulla with a host of big-race victories in America until his death
from cancer at the age of 68 in November, 2009. The home-bred son of Galileo
is a three-parts brother to 2010 Lingfield Derby Trial winner Bullet Train, a
five-year-old who acts as his pacemaker these days, and a full-brother to
three-year-old Noble Mission, winner of the Group Three Gordon Stakes at
Glorious Goodwood in 2012. Frankel made an eye-catching winning debut when
readily scoring in a mile maiden on Newmarket's July Course on August 13,
2010, as he beat subsequent dual Group One victor Nathaniel by half a length.
He built on that promising start when quickening clear of two rivals for a
bloodless 13-length victory in a seven-furlong conditions race at Doncaster's
St Leger meeting on September 10 that year. The manner of his win saw Frankel
propelled towards the head of the ante-post markets for both the 2011 QIPCO
2,000 Guineas and the Investec Derby and he showed himself as a juvenile of
uncommon ability with a stunning success in the Group Two Juddmonte Royal
Lodge Stakes over a mile at Ascot on September 25. 2010. Not content with the
sedate pace, Tom Queally took up the running entering the straight and
Frankel accelerated away from the field with ease to gain an almost effortless
10-length triumph over Klammer. His trainer then suggested that Frankel was
the finest juvenile to have passed through his hands since Wollow in 1975
(who subsequently went on to win the 2,000 Guineas). Frankel's final start of
2010 came at Newmarket on October 16 in the Group One Dubai Dewhurst Stakes.
A strong line-up for the very prestigious seven-furlong event also included
dual Group One winner Dream Ahead and impressive Group Two victor Saamidd.
Held up at the rear of the field, Frankel began to make smooth progress with
three furlongs remaining and led before the furlong-pole, defeating Roderic
O'Connor by two and a quarter lengths in good style. The runner-up strongly
endorsed the form when winning a Group One in France afterwards. Frankel was
the joint champion two-year-old in Europe on official ratings with Dream
Ahead - rated 126 as well as being named the Two-Year-Old Colt of 2010 at the
Cartier Racing Awards. Frankel reappeared in 2011 in the seven-furlong Group
Three Greenham Stakes at Newbury on April 16, when he went to the front
passing the three-furlong marker to record a comfortable four-length success
over subsequent French Group One winner Excelebration. He started the
shortest-priced favourite in the QIPCO 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket since
Apalachee, third at 4/9 in 1974, going off at ½. He galloped his opponents
into submission in the mile Classic and was over 10 lengths clear before
halfway, winning most impressively by six lengths from Dubawi Gold with the
field strung out. After this truly stunning performance, he headed to Royal
Ascot for the Group One St James's Palace Stakes, also over a mile, on June
14 and extended his unbeaten run. But the victory was not delivered in the
manner expected by his legion of admirers. Queally sent the colt to the lead
with well over three furlongs remaining and Frankel was six lengths clear
with a quarter of a mile to run. After such an explosive mid-race burst
however, his momentum decreased markedly inside the final furlong, allowing
the fast closing Zoffany to get within three quarters of a length at the
line. Frankel took on older rivals for the first time in the QIPCO Sussex
Stakes at Glorious Goodwood on July 27 last year, with his main opposition
set to come from five-time Group One winner Canford Cliffs in a race billed
as the 'Duel on the Downs'. In reality the mile contest looked distinctly
one-sided as Frankel made the running before powering clear for an imperious
five-length success. Connections briefly toyed with the idea of stepping Frankel
up to a mile and a quarter for either the Juddmonte International or the
QIPCO British Champions Stakes, deciding on the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes
Sponsored by QIPCO on QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot, October 15, when
he cruised to a four-length victory over Excelebration. The World
Thoroughbred Rankings for 2011 handed Frankel a rating of 136, 4lb clear of
the outstanding Australian sprinter Black Caviar, making him officially the
best horse in the world. He was Cartier Horse Of The Year and Cartier
Three-Year-Old Colt in 2011. He began the current season at Newbury on May
19, when he sauntered to a facile five-length victory over his old rival
Excelebration in the Group One JLT Locking Stakes at Newbury over a mile.
Despite that deficit being the biggest in four meetings with Excelebration,
Sir Henry Cecil was expecting a sharper performance at Royal Ascot and the
four-year-old did not disappoint. Frankel faced 10 rivals including
Excelebration in the Group One Queen Anne Stakes over the straight mile
- the opening race of the meeting - and produced a performance of the very
highest quality, routing the field for an emphatic 11-length victory. In the
aftermath of the performance, Timeform gave Frankel a rating of 147, the
highest in the organisation's 64-year history, while the British Horseracing
Authority increased Frankel's rating to 140, 1lb behind Khalid Abdulla's
outstanding 1986 Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe winner Dancing Brave. He achieved
another first when capturing his second QIPCO Sussex Stakes at Goodwood
by six lengths on August 1. Frankel ran beyond a mile for the first time when
contesting the Group One Juddmonte International over an extended 10 furlongs
at York on August 22. The nine-strong field included a host of top-class
performers including St Nicholas Abbey, Farhh and Twice Over, but Frankel
treated them with complete disdain, cruising into the lead two furlongs out
before striding clear for a seven-length victory. The ease of his success
persuaded connections to contemplate the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe over an
extra furlong and a half but Khalid Abdulla's racing manager, Lord
Grimthorpe, confirmed, after a period of consideration, that Frankel's target
is the QIPCO Champion Stakes at Ascot on October 20. The 10-furlong showpiece
is likely to be Frankel's final race before a career at stud. Frankel has
started favourite in all his races and, bar his debut, went off at odds-on.
Tom Queally has ridden Frankel every time he has run. The work on the Rowley
Mile at Newmarket today is to get Frankel spot on for his Ascot finale.

Khalid
Abdulla
Prince
Khalid Abdulla(h), who prefers to be known as plain Mr K Abdulla on the
racecard, is a first cousin to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. He owns
extensive racing and breeding interests in America, Britain, France and
Ireland. He is a semi-retired businessman who, along with his four sons,
presides over a huge conglomerate, the Mawarid Group, in Saudi Arabia and
beyond. He developed a love for British racing during the 1960s when renting
a house in London and, with the help of former trainer Humphrey Cottrill, had
his first winner on May 14, 1979, when the Jeremy Tree-trained Charming
Native scored at Windsor. Born in Taif, Saudi Arabia, in 1937, Abdulla has
been one of the most successful owner-breeders in Europe over the past four
decades and is the only current owner to have owned and bred the winners of
all five British Classics. The first British Classic success came when Known
Fact was awarded the 1980 QIPCO 2,000 Guineas on the disqualification of
Nureyev. He has won the QIPCO 2,000 Guineas thrice more, thanks to Dancing
Brave (1986), Zafonic (1993) and Frankel (2011) who promises to be best of
them all, while in 1990 Quest For Fame gave him an initial Investec Derby
triumph, followed by Commander In Chief in 1993 and Workforce in 2010. His
only Ladbrokes St Leger victory came with the Andre Fabre-trained Toulon in
1991. Abdulla also races with great success in France, Ireland and the United
States, where under the Juddmonte Farms banner he won a Triple Crown race in
2003 with Empire Maker in the Belmont Stakes. In 2003, Abdulla became
champion owner in both Britain (78 winners) and France (58 winners), while he
also finished third in the USA owners' championship. The full-sisters out of
Hasili, Banks Hill (2001) and Intercontinental (2005), gave Abdulla a notable
pair of victories in the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf, a race he also
annexed in 2009 with three-time Nassau Stakes (2009, 2010 & 2011) winner
Midday. Hasili also produced the owner's dual Grade One winning mare Heat
Haze, trained by the late Bobby Frankel. 2010 was a superb year and Abdulla
finished it as champion owner in Britain (74 winners & prize money of
over £3 million) for the second time, while Juddmonte was crowned the top
breeder once again. Workforce won both the Investec Derby and Qatar Prix de
l'Arc de Triomphe in great style, while the unbeaten Frankel was crowned
joint-champion European juvenile after victory in the Dubai Dewhurst Stakes.
Special Duty also won two 2010 Classics in the stewards' room. In the QIPCO
1,000 Guineas at Newmarket, she was promoted to first ahead of Jacqueline
Quest after finishing a nose second and in the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches,
the filly was awarded first place after coming home the head runner-up to
Liliside. Abdulla's other 1,000 Guineas win came with Wince in 1999. Twice
Over has also been a leading light over the past few seasons, taking the Emirates
Airline Champion Stakes at Newmarket in 2009 and 2010 as well as the 2010
Coral-Eclipse and 2011 Juddmonte International. Frankel is probably Abdulla's
greatest horse and remains unbeaten in 13 races, nine of which have come at
Group One level, including the QIPCO 2,000 Guineas, St James's Palace Stakes,
QIPCO Sussex Stakes (2011 & 2012), Queen Elizabeth II Stakes sponsored by
QIPCO, the Queen Anne Stakes and the Juddmonte International. Frankel's
exploits last year played a large part in Abdulla winning another owners'
championship in Britain in 2011 (63 wins and over £3.4 million in prize
money). The owner's Juddmonte breeding operation has nine properties in
England, Ireland and Kentucky, including the 373-acre Banstead Manor Stud
just outside Newmarket and the 2,500-acre Juddmonte Farms south of Lexington.
Juddmonte Farms stand 10 stallions, including Oasis Dream and Dansili, as
well as outstanding broodmares in Britain and the US including Hasili,
Toussaud and Slightly Dangerous. Abdulla is an honorary member of the British
Jockey Club and his daughter was married to the late Prince Fahd Salman,
owner of 1991 Derby victor Generous. His notable horses have included the
great Dancing Brave, narrowly beaten in the 1986 Derby but successful in the
2,000 Guineas, Eclipse, King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes and Prix
de l'Arc de Triomphe, plus Rainbow Quest, Warning, Danehill, Reams Of Verse,
Rail Link, Zafonic, Oasis Dream, Chester House, Observatory, Xaar, All At
Sea, Commander In Chief, Sanglamore, Ryafan, Exbourne, Marquetry, Raintrap,
Sun Shack, Aptitude, Senure, Tates Creek, Cacique, Ventura and Proviso.
Abdulla has over 300 broodmares and a similar number of horses in training.
Lord Grimthorpe is his racing manager in Europe and Dr John Chandler oversees
his US interests. He has won 10 Eclipse Awards in America as well as plenty
of Cartier Racing Awards in Europe including the Award of Merit in 2002.
Sir
Henry Cecil
Sir
Henry Cecil, who was awarded a knighthood for services to racing in the
Queen's 2011 Birthday Honours List, has been Britain's champion trainer 10
times and is master of Warren Place Stables in Newmarket. Since taking out a
licence in 1969, he has compiled a record of success that ranks him among the
pantheon of training legends. He has won 36 European Classics, including 25
in Britain, collected over 400 Pattern successes and saddled well over 3,000
individual winners. He is also the most successful trainer at Royal Ascot,
having won 75 races at the meeting. Henry Richard Amherst Cecil was born in
Aberdeen on January 11, 1943, 10 minutes before his twin brother David, with
whom he enjoyed a close bond. His father, Captain Henry Cecil of the Welsh
Guards, brother of the third Baron Amherst of Hackney, was killed in action
in North Africa some two weeks prior to the birth. Henry's widowed mother
Rohays subsequently married royal trainer Sir Cecil Boyd-Rochfort and moved
her brood of four boys to Freemason Lodge from the family farm near
Newmarket. His formative years at Freemason Lodge stables, along with his
brothers Bow, James, David and later Arthur, infused a desire to pursue a
life in racing. This was undoubtedly detrimental to any potential academic distractions
that may have robbed the sport of one of its most intuitive talents. In his
book, On The Level, published in 1983, Cecil recalls at the age of seven
being sent to prep school at Sunningdale where, with his twin David, he
"went straight to the bottom form and stayed there". He failed to
get into Eton and spent the remainder of his school life at Canford School in
Dorset, which he left with 10 O-Levels, before embarking on a high-spirited
year at Cirencester's Royal Agricultural College, where he and David
"studied drinking and gambling", before leaving without sitting any
exams. Henry was destined for a career in stud management until accepting the
role of assistant to his step-father in 1964. Two years later he married
Julie Murless, daughter of the great trainer Sir Noel Murless. Boyd-Rochfort,
the man he called Uncle Cecil, retired at the end of the 1968 Flat season, at
which point Henry took over the reins at Freemason Lodge. He did not exactly
hit the ground running and it was two months before he sighted the winner's
enclosure. His initial victory as a licensed trainer came on May 17, 1969,
when Celestial Cloud was the short-head winner of an amateur riders' event at
Ripon. That success came after a piece of anxious advice from his then father-in-law.
After watching the Cecil string work, Sir Noel Murless, never one to
interfere, awkwardly declared: "Your horses are galloping like a lot of
old gentlemen. You must make them work." Henry gratefully heeded the
advice and big-race glory soon followed with Wolver Hollow in the 1969
Eclipse. A move to Marriott Stables brought his first European Classic,
courtesy of Cloonagh in the 1973 Irish 1,000 Guineas. Bolkonski's win in the
1975 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket set the ball rolling in Britain. Wollow's
2,000 Guineas victory a year later came in Henry's first season training at
Warren Place, formerly the yard of his father-in-law, and heralded an era of
success that has etched his name indelibly in the annals of racing greatness.
As the 1980s dawned, the Henry Cecil legend took shape. Supported by Julie
Cecil, head man Paddy Rudkin, travelling head man George Winsor and others,
he reigned supreme. He ended the 1979 season as champion trainer with a 20th
century record of 128 wins to his name. That was his third title in four
seasons, in a year that saw One In A Million land the QIPCO 1,000 Guineas at
Newmarket and Le Moss and Kris emerge as champions. The following decade
brought five more training titles, while eight individual English Classic
winners, including the Derby heroes Slip Anchor (1985) and Reference Point
(1987), and the brilliant fillies' Triple Crown scorer Oh So Sharp (1985),
were complemented by champions such as Ardross, Diesis, Indian Skimmer and
Old Vic. In 1985, the year of Slip Anchor and Oh So Sharp, Henry became the
first trainer in history to pass the £1-million mark in prize money. The 1987
season brought an even more phenomenal feat as Warren Place runners captured
180 races, smashing John Day's 1867 record of 146. Success continued
throughout the next decade with a further clutch of Classic triumphs
including four Oaks wins in five years with Lady Carla (1996), Reams Of Verse
(1997), Ramruma (1999) and Love Divine (2000). He produced the brilliant
Bosra Sham to be champion filly, nursing her fragile feet with the patience
and care with which he is renowned, while enjoying two further successes in
the Derby with Commander In Chief (1993) and Oath (1999). The latter's owner,
the late Prince Ahmed Salman, summed up the feeling of many after Oath's
triumph when he said, "winning Classics is easy. You just buy a horse
and send it to Henry Cecil". The years have seen many of his
owner-breeders pass away, while the loss of Sheikh Mohammed's patronage in
1995 was an undoubted blow. The numbers housed at Warren Place fell
dramatically from a peak of near 200, so that by midway through the decade
2000 to 2010 Henry Cecil was no longer seen as a force in the contests that
mattered. Owners deserted him, though notably Khalid Abdulla and the Niarchos
Family remained loyal. The family standard, run up the flag pole after each
Group One win, gathered dust for over six years after Beat Hollow's Grand
Prix de Paris win in 2000. In 2006, however, a corner was turned as
Multidimensional gave Henry his first Pattern success in four years. October
of that year marked a return to the top table as the Khalid Abdulla-owned
Passage Of Time captured the Group One Criterium de Saint-Cloud. Classic
success made a welcome return to Warren Place in 2007 when Light Shift, owned
by the Niarchos Family, clinched an emotional success in the Investec Oaks
under Ted Durcan, while Midday went close to handing the stable a ninth
victory in the premier fillies' Classic when a close runner-up to Sariska in
2009. The Khalid Abdulla-owned filly subsequently proved a bona fide
superstar, with an unprecedented three victories in the Nassau Stakes at
Goodwood in 2009, 2010 and 2011 as well as the Yorkshire Oaks and Prix
Vermeille in 2010. She also provided Henry with a first success at the
Breeders' Cup when landing the 2009 Filly & Mare Turf at Santa Anita.
Twice Over has also been a standard bearer for Warren Place over the past few
seasons, taking the Emirates Airline Champion Stakes at Newmarket in 2009 and
2010 as well as the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown in 2010 and York's Juddmonte
International in 2011. The unbeaten Frankel is the latest superstar on the
block, having won 13 races, nine of which have come at Group One level (the
Dewhurst Stakes, the QIPCO 2000 Guineas, the St James' Palace Stakes, the
QIPCO Sussex Stakes (2011 & 2012), the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes
sponsored by QIPCO, the JLT Lockinge Stakes, the Queen Anne Stakes and
Juddmonte International). He is rated the top horse in the world and Sir
Henry believes he is the best he has ever trained. As well as housing equine
superstars, Warren Place was also the haunt of champion jockeys, with Joe
Mercer, Lester Piggott, Steve Cauthen, Pat Eddery and later Kieren Fallon
each doing their bit and enjoying the spoils of the master trainer's
meticulously-planned campaigns. Nowadays, the talented young Irishman Tom
Queally is the jockey proving his worth atop Cecil-trained contenders. The
record books do not lie and Sir Henry Cecil rewrote them as he cultivated and
nurtured a string of champions. He is a trainer of great flair - a gifted
horseman with an exceptional ability in assessing a horse, and possesses a
rare instinctive genius that enables him to appreciate potential far earlier
than most. He is also the focus of great fascination, particularly among the
media - a champion trainer with a penchant for gardening and fine clothes. He
has fought cancer over the last few years and married Jane McKeown, his third
wife, in 2008.

Tom
Queally, born on October 8, 1984, has come a long way since riding his first
winner on the John Roche-trained Larifaari at Clonmel on April 13, 2000, when
15. He was crowned Ireland's champion apprentice the same season. From
Dungarvan in County Waterford, where his father Declan combines farming with
a small training operation, Tom was out hunting on his pony by the age of
seven. After a spell showjumping, he was a leading figure on the pony racing
circuit by the age of 13 and was apprenticed to trainer Pat Flynn two years
later. The apprenticeship was terminated when Queally's parents insisted he
finish his leaving certificate at school. At the end of a quiet 2002, when
apprenticed to his father, he moved to Aidan O'Brien at Ballydoyle, winning
the following year's Group Three Ballysax Stakes on Balestrini. With the help
of owner/trainer Barney Curley, he moved to Britain in 2004 and joined David
Loder's Newmarket stable, becoming British champion apprentice that year. He
won the 2008 Group Three Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Epsom aboard Lady Gloria
and is now attached to Sir Henry Cecil's Warren Place stable. Since his move
to Cecil's yard, he has recorded significant victories on Midday, who
finished runner-up in the 2009 Investec Oaks before going on to claim the
Group One Nassau Stakes at Goodwood (2009, 2010 and 2011), the Darley
Yorkshire Oaks (2010), Qatar Prix Vermeille (2010) and the Breeders'
Cup Filly & Mare Turf (2009). Twice Over has given him success in the
Emirates Airline Champion Stakes (2009 and 2010), and the Coral-Eclipse Stakes
(2010). Queally gained his first Group One success in Ireland when
Chachamaidee was awarded the 2012 Matron Stakes in the stewards' room after
she was hampered in the closing stages. In 2009, he also won two Group One
sprints, partnering the Michael Bell-trained Art Connoisseur in Royal Ascot's
Golden Jubilee Stakes (Queally's first top level win) and Fleeting Spirit,
trained by Jeremy Noseda, in the Darley July Cup at Newmarket. He has
partnered the world's highest-rated horse Frankel on all the colt's 13
appearances, including Group One wins in the Darley Dewhurst Stakes (2010),
QIPCO 2,000 Guineas (2011), St James's Palace Stakes (2011), QIPCO Sussex
Stakes (2011 & 2012), Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (sponsored by QIPCO)
(2011), JLT Lockinge Stakes (2012), Queen Anne Stakes (2012) and Juddmonte
International (2012).

CAMBRIDGESHIRE MARKET MOVERS
The
Betfred Cambridgeshire, held over a mile and one furlong of the historic turf
on Newmarket's Rowley Mile Racecourse, is one half of the autumn double, the
other being the Betfred Cesarewitch on October 13. The Betfred Cambridgeshire
was first run in 1839 and is one of the highlights of the gambling year.
This
year, sponsors Betfred have had significant support for the Hughie
Morrison-trained Chil The Kite (9/1 from 12/1).
Mark
Pearson, head of media for Betfred, said this morning: "We have seen
money for Mijhaar (12/1 from 14/1) and Talk About (16/1 from 25/1) in the
Betfred Cambridgeshire as well as Chil The Kite.
"In
the other races today, there is money for Fantastic Moon (9/4 from 7/2) in
the Juddmonte Royal Lodge, Maureen (2/1 from 5/2) in the Jaguar Cars Cheveley
Park Stakes and Beauty Parlour (2/1 from 5/2) in the Kingdom Of Bahrain Sun
Chariot Stakes.
"It
is all about Chil the Kite though, the punters are flying in for him."
CAMBRIDGESHIRE
FESTIVAL PLAYS HOST TO SOME IMPRESSIVE JUVENILES AND ESTABLISHED STARS
The
first two days of the Cambridgeshire Festival at Newmarket have been
headlined by a number of impressive two-year-olds, who look sure to have an
impact on next year's Classics.
Certify,
trained by Mahmood Al Zarooni, extended her unbeaten record to four with an
emphatic victory in the Group One Shadwell Fillies' Mile yesterday. The
daughter of Elusive Quality was held up towards the rear by Mickael Barzalona
but came through strongly for an impressive four and a half length success.
This was Godolphin's third consecutive victory in the Shadwell Fillies Mile
following on from Lyric Of Light and White Moonstone. Certify is now as short
as 6/1 favourite with BetVictor for next year's QIPCO 1000 Guineas at
Newmarket.
Al
Zarooni said: "Certify was a bit excited before the race and that is not
normal for her. It is her fourth run of the year and I would prefer to put
her away for next season. I think she will stay further than a mile but the
QIPCO 1000 Guineas will be her first target."
Ralph
Beckett also unleashed a smart juvenile filly in yesterday's opening Group
Three Sakhee Oh So Sharp Stakes over seven furlongs. Waterway Run, who had
won a York nursery by three and a quarter lengths on September 9, showed a
tenacious attitude under Jim Crowley to get the better of Light Up My Life by
half a length.
Beckett
said: "She will go straight for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies' Turf
(Santa Anita, USA, November 2, US$1 million) because she was nominated for it
as a foal and that seems the next logical step."
Yesterday's
eight-race card also featured the Group Two Nayef Joel Stakes over a mile,
which is part of the QIPCO British Champions Series. Penitent continued to
endorse David O'Meara's training abilities with a hard-fought front-running
success under Daniel Tudhope to score by a neck. The six-year-old had his
first run for O'Meara in April and has now bagged two Group Twos and a Listed
race in six starts this season.
O'Meara
said: "He's been a grand horse to win a Listed and a Group race at the
beginning of the season and then come back and win another one at the end of
the season."
The
opening day of the Betfred Cambridgeshire meeting on Thursday saw Richard
Hannon's highly-regarded two-year-old Havana Gold make it four wins from five
starts in the feature Group Three Somerville Tattersall Stakes over seven
furlongs. The son of Teofilo picked up stylishly under Richard Hughes for a
comfortable length and a half victory and is now as short as 20/1 with Paddy
Power for next season's QIPCO 2000 Guineas.
Assistant
trainer Richard Hannon Jnr said: "He will be better over a mile and is a
nice horse for next year."
Sir
Michael Stoute unleashed a potential Investec Derby prospect when Telescope
was a taking winner of the British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden over mile. The
son of Galileo travelled strongly for Richard Hughes before drawing away in
eye-catching fashion for a two and a quarter length success. He is now as
short as 12/1 with Stan James to give his trainer a sixth victory in the
Epsom Classic.
Stoute
said: "Telescope has run two very promising races and as he's out of a
Darshaan mare by Galileo, so he should get further. I don't know if you'll
see him again this year. He's in the Racing Post Trophy, but I wouldn't
commit myself to that."
Another
local trainer John Gosden captured a brace of Listed races on the opening
day, with Gallipot quickening smartly to win the Princess Royal Richard
Hambro Stakes and Caucus staying on dourly to win the Jockey Club Rose Bowl
Stakes over two miles. The staying contest also featured two pleasing
performances from the Godolphin duo, Cavalryman and Lost In The Moment, who
finished second and third and are now Melbourne Cup bound.

POST TROPHY NEXT FOR STEELER
Mark Johnston's Steeler lived
up to his name with gutsy victory in the Group Two Juddmonte Royal Lodge
Stakes under Kieren Fallon. The son of Raven's Pass raced prominently before
fighting off Artigiano, trained by Mahmood Al Zarooni, inside the final furlong
to score by a length. Sir Henry Cecil's representative Al Waab stayed on
under pressure to take third.
Johnston said: "Steeler
found an extra gear when he hit the rising ground, which we hoped he would.
He is very laid back and lazy and there will be plenty more to come next
year.
"I took the liberty of
dropping him back to seven furlongs last time and a furlong out it looked as
if that was a bad decision.
"He has shown us plenty at
home and even in April he was showing us that he was a nice horse but we knew
there would be more to come over longer distances. The Racing Post Trophy is
his next target."
Fallon said: "He seems to
be getting better and better and this extra furlong suited him today. He is a
horse who just keeps finding for you.
"I thought it was a
sensible pace for the first half of the race and then we really picked up.
What I like most about this fellow is that he puts his head down and really
wants to run for you.
"He will come into his own
next year and could be a Derby horse."

Haggas
said: "When you get a two-year-old filly you want to win the Lowther and

"Her
coat has gone but she can run and she is a tough and genuine filly.
"I
want to enjoy the moment but we will give the 1000 Guineas consideration. Why
not?
"I
didn't think she would stay six furlongs but she looked as though she was
going on again in the Lowther and that there was more to come. Who knows if
she will stay a mile but we will give the Guineas a shot."
Murtagh
added: "It was very similar to the race at York. She travelled well down
the rail on her own, which she didn't seem to mind, and she battled well when
Kieren (Fallon on Baileys Jubilee) came to me. She has done it well.
"I
was drawn in stall one, so I just stayed straight. She was on the rail and
she wasn't getting any hassle, so she was kind of flowing for the first three
or four furlongs.
"When
I got to the three-marker, I thought that we would take a bit of catching
because she had loads left in reserve. Kieren got to me but my filly wasn't
for passing today.
"She
is pretty fast but maybe she will mature over the winter. You just don't know
and it's a quick mile here, so I think that she deserves her chance in the
Guineas. The Cheveley Park is a great race and has a great record for the

Ed
McMahon, who trains the progressive Camacho filly, said afterwards: "I
knew we would get every yard of the trip after her run at Salisbury (where
she won a Listed race over six furlongs on September 6). The winner just
injected a bit of pace going into the dip and I am not saying Winning Express
was caught flat but she tends to just switch off. Franny (Norton, jockey)
said she was doing her best work at the end and with another twenty yards she
would have got there. We could be an unlucky loser.
"We

would get a mile but she will certainly get seven. That is it for this year
and we will wait and see next year."
Mark
Johnston, trainer of third-placed Baileys Jubilee, said: "I am very pleased
with Baileys Jubilee. I thought she was going to win as she hit the front
like a winner. Kieren (Fallon) was very bullish about her and said that the

"My

SIYOUMA
STRIKES FOR FRANCE
French
handler Francois Doumen gained his first top level success on the Flat in
Britain when Siyouma won the Group One Kingdom Of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes.
It was a fourth consecutive win for French-trained horses, following on from
Rodolphe Collet's three wins with Sahpresa.
Siyouma
raced prominently under Gerald Mosse before taking the lead a furlong from
home and kept on strongly for a three quarters of a length success. Elusive
Kate ran a good race to be second after stumbling coming out the stalls and
Laugh Out Loud held on for third after making the running.
Doumen
said: "I was worried about the ground for Siyouma because she is better
on softer ground - every time she works on soft ground she absolutely flies.
"She
has been improving throughout the season and when she ran in the Falmouth
Stakes in July she was still quite immature as she didn't run much as a
three-year-old.
"She
is the most satisfactory thing in the world. She is easy to train - she has
an easy temperament and is very calm. Gerald (Mosse) said she won with
something in hand and nobody will be able to criticise his ride today.
"As
she has won easily, she could go for the E P Taylor Stakes at Woodbine in two
weeks' time - we could get some cut in the ground there. There is also Japan
and Hong Kong to consider - the fact she has won on fast ground today
reassures me that we can go there.
Gerald
Mosse added: "She was very well today and she worked very well last
week, so we were pretty confident before we came.
"I
was expecting the ground to be a bit softer, which would have helped, but we
have been lucky. I had a good pace in front of me and I would say that the
race was pretty clear for everyone. She picked up and really went to the line
with a lot of potential.
"She
is definitely better over a mile - not because she won today but I have
already been saying it to the trainer for a long time. She can go to a mile
and a quarter, but a mile is definitely the best for her."

SHOWS HER BRAVERY
The
ever consistent Elusive Kate showed her bravery when coming
three-quarters-of-a-length second to Siyouma in the Kingdom Of Bahrain Sun
Chariot Stakes.
Her
trainer, John Gosden, attempted to remove the off-fore shoe in the winner's
enclosure when she came back in before calling for the racecourse farrier to
take it off. The foot was then bandaged and she was led off to the unsaddling
boxes for further inspection by her lad and trainer.
William
Buick, who rode her, said: "She stumbled out of the stalls and her shoe
came loose and that has cost her the race I think."
Mick
Channon, who trained the third-placed Laugh Out Loud, commented after the
race: "I am obviously delighted, she has been a high class filly all
year. We gave her a break after Ascot and she ran a cracker in Ireland and
she has run another one today.
"Obviously,
you want to win but we are very pleased. It is difficult to make all
especially on a straight track like here. I would have thought we will have a

you are waiting to see if a horse gets in a race but thankfully he did and I
am very pleased.
"I
am thrilled for Lady Tennant as she has been a great supporter of mine, even
from when I first started training.
"It

"I

chance when I looked this morning but it's very hard because there are so
many runners and you can make a case for so many of them.
"They
split into three groups and I stayed where I was. There weren't that many
runners there so I was just lucky that the horses took me far enough because
he doesn't like to be in front too soon. He has won really well and you could

Jane
Chapple-Hyam, who trains the 33/1 chance in Newmarket, said afterwards:
"I was worried about the pace but he settled nicely on the far side, and
second isn't too bad. He looked to me, like I always thought, that he could
be a mile and a quarter horse. I am just pleased that he has run well on what
he has shown at home.
"I
might wrap him up and put him away until the Winter Derby at Lingfield. He
has won there before, but you know me, I may just keep him running. There
might be a race in France. A little conditions race, maybe one on those all
weather tracks. As long as he comes out of the race alright - though he looks
fine now. It is very good prize money for one of those conditions
races."
Joseph

"Bancnuanaheireann has run a cracker and is on an upward curve. He is

"He
took me there the whole way and was doing it nicely. All he did is keep going
and if the ground was a bit slower, I'm not saying I would have won, but it
would have helped me a bit by slowing the race down.
"He
would tank through anything and he just keeps going and galloping.
"You've
got to go where the races are but I would go a mile and a quarter before I
went a mile, although nine furlongs on slow ground would probably be ideal
for him - but how many of those races are there at this level."

quotes
BIN
SUROOR AND SAYTARA LAND THE LUCKY LAST
Saytara,
trained by Saeed bin Suroor, took her form to a new level with an emphatic
victory in the concluding Baileys Horse Feeds Handicap. The daughter of Nayef
stayed on strongly inside the final half mile under Silvestre De Sousa to
record a seven-length success over Taglietelle, with a further three quarters
of a length back to Brockwell in third.
Bin
Suroor said: "Saytara has won really well. She has really improved
physically towards the end of this season. I told the jockey to keep her
handy and she showed a good turn of foot over a mile and a half.
"There
are no plans but we will find a better race for her and she will stay in
training next year."
Andrew
Balding, who trains the second-placed Taglietelle, said: "The big
question mark was the trip but he stays well and he should win his races next
year."

jockey:-Name: Fallon, Kieren Francis Date Of Birth: February
22, 1965 Background: Became apprentice to Kevin Prendergast when 17,
riding his first winner the following year. Moved to Britain when still an
apprentice in 1988, working for Jimmy Fitzgerald and then Lynda Ramsden in
1993. Signed to ride for Henry Cecil in 1996, and became champion jockey for
the first time in 1997 with 202 wins, also winning his first two classics.
Joined Sir Michael Stoute in 2000 after acrimonious split with Cecil, but
suffered a bad fall at Royal Ascot that nearly ended his career, and ruled
him out of the rest of the season. Replaced Jamie Spencer as Ballydoyle
stable jockey in 2005, although continued to ride for Stoute when allowed.
Charged with race-fixing by City of London Police in 2006, and banned from
riding in Britain pending trial. Also failed drugs test in France, resulting
in worldwide six month ban in the same year. Returned to action in June 2007,
although gave up riding in October 2007 to concentrate impending court case.
Cleared of attempting to defraud Betfair customers when trial collapsed in
December 2007, only to be found guilty of failing a drugs test in France in
August 2007. Started riding out for Sir Michael Stoute after being given an
18 month ban and launched his own website. Returned to race riding on
September 4, 2009, coming second on his first ride back (Rare Malt, Withyham
Median Auction Maiden Stakes, Lingfield Park) First winner: Piccadily
