    We may well see Born to Sea v Frankel,but if Frankel is stepping up to ten we won't

    Why so negative?

    Do you not think Born to Sea will be running between 1m and 1m4?

    I want to see Frankel go to 12f, bit much of an ask given his dams speed but he loves Ascot and taking the King George would put him up there with the greats. Not too wild about what he beat at a mile last year. He has already beaten last years top 3yo 12f horses as a 2yo, 10f would be a breeze for him as he was only getting better the further he was going in the Queen Elizabeth II stakes. Ascot is his track, pity there isn't a hope of him running in the King George though.

    Can't take Born To Sea seriously after his flop, one to avoid unless he takes in the english Guineas. Oxx will only run him in it if he is actually a top horse and not one that's just good.

    I don't mean to be negative I mean to be realistic.
    I can't see Born to Sea staying past a mile given the speed in his pedigree. The only hope is that Green Desert is the grand sire of Cape Cross as well and Sea the Stars got a mile and a half,but that's a distant hope.

    People backing him for the Derby are mental I think.

    He was lame immediately after his last run, I thought he gave a good account of himself all things considered.

    Urban, I took 33/1 about him doing the Guineas Derby double, I will lay it like its hot if he wins the Guineas ;)
