Frankness Flies Home At Chester (20th August)

As if Frankel's offspring hadn't shone brightly enough with Chaldean winning the Acomb Stakes (Group 3) at York, team Balding proved a star turn at Chester with another smashing prospect this time a chestnut filly called Frankness. If you are looking for some extra betting then take a look at casinoclic casino and see if Lady Luck is rooting for you. 

This daughter of Frankel out of a two-times-winning mare, Cosmopolitan Queen, who was trained by David Elwsorth and in the same silks of owner John Smith. 

Frankness ran well on debut when fancied at Newmarket, finishing third in a tight finish, losing by three-quarters of a length. Then ran a sterling race second start at Chester over 7f when beating Endeared who is a capable colt. I've notice a few of Frankel's offspring are racing in the US which brings me to usa online gambling which I recommend as a great platform for everything casino. 

Under a win penalty Frankness returned to her happy hunting ground over course and distance taking the British Stallion Stud EBF Fillies' Novice Stakes (GBB Race) (Irish Incentive Race) by an impressive six-and-a-half lengths, being eased the last 110 yards under a great front-running ride from 3lb apprentice Harry Davies.

You'd imagine after these two victories this February foal will be heading towards pattern class. 

Good luck to connections.

Andrew Balding's Frankness Shows Class to Win at Chester (1st August)

 Andrew Balding and his team had much to be thankful for with a great day at Chester with a brace of two-year-old winners including Frankel filly Frankness who ran a fine race on debut at Newmarket going one better on Saturday. 

The 9/4 shot, a compact sort, looked at home over this 7f on this idiosyncratic course, relishing the good to soft going. James Fanshawe's Endeared led and looked to set a high standard, before being swallowed up by the John Smith Frankel filly who put down a strong challenge in the final two furlongs the first two beating the third by two and a half lengths. After watching this race I took a look at online casino games and enjoyed a session on there. It makes a change to have a little bit of casino action.

Frankness, ridden by Rob Hornby, won by three and a quarter lengths and a horse sure to be racing at pattern class soon. 

She's a well-bred juvenile, a February foal, out of a twice-winning mare, Cosmopolitan Queen who was trained by David Elsworth in the silks of John Smith. I wonder if these two successful men have an interest in online casino for sa which has some great offerings. It's so much easier to play online rather than brick and mortar establishments. 

Anna Lisa Balding, trainer's wife, said: ''Frankness ran really well at Newmarket first time out and it's great to see her win win impressively today.''

Good luck to connections.

Your Guide to the Lily Agnes Conditions Stakes 2018


A Brief History of the Lily Agnes Stakes 


Did you know the Lily Agnes was named after an English thoroughbred racehorse? This daughter of Marconi, out of the dam Polly Agnes, was foaled in 1871. This filly was bred by James Snarry, who kept this bay in his ownership. Her racecourse achievements were heralded far and wide. She won 21 of her 32 starts including the Northumberland Plate (1874), Doncaster Cup (1874) & Ebor Handicap (1875). 

The Lily Agnes Stakes was named in her memory.     

Yogi's Girl won the Lily Agnes in 2017 

Wednesday: 1:50 Chester - Stellar Group Lily Agnes Stakes (Plus 10) Class 2 

Eleven two-year-olds take part. All have race experience. 

1) Arthur's Spirit - Bill Turner

No stranger to speedy two-year-olds. This son of Swiss Spirit disappointed in the Brocklesby Conditions Stakes. However, he showed good pace at Southwell when runner-up and led all the way to win at Kempton. 

Verdict: A wide draw (10) will make this hard work.

2) Dark Thunder - Tom Dascombe 

One of four juveniles entered here for this local trainer from Malpas, Cheshire. This grey colt made his debut in a hot Windsor Stakes finishing third behind the talented Emaaraty Ana, who beat Blown By Wind at odds of 4/11f. Has first jockey riding which indicates the best of the stablemates.

Verdict: Needs to find improvement on that first start. 

3) Five Amarones - Tom Dascombe  NR

Another recruit from Manor House Stables. Ran a respectable race on debut when a running on third at Pontefract. Raced at Bath on Monday when hanging on for third place behind easy winner Barbill., trained by Mick Channon. 

Verdict: May be withdrawn after recent effort. Unlikely to figure on what we have seen.




4) Gingersdunthelot - David Loughnane 

A prime draw in stall 1. He's shown plenty of pace in both starts to date but tired rapidly thereafter. 

Verdict: Very unlikely to win.

5) Kinks - Mick Channon  NR

A speedy colt who likes to lead. Narrowly foiled on debut at Kempton and then battling win at Bath before winning again under a penalty. A professional colt who would have his supporters if he wasn't draw so wide in stall 11. 

Verdict: A wide draw looks very difficult to overcome. Not impossible but will need to sit in behind and hope the leaders stop. 

6) Lihou - David Evans

Beat Kinks on debut, running on with spirit, and touch of style. Ran well on debut in the Brocklesby after a slow start. David Evans has done well in this race and this son of Mayson is drawn well enough in stall 5. May well sit in behind and finish the race with verve. 

Verdict: A decent juvenile who has been aimed at this race. A fair draw should see him hold every chance. A major player. 

7) Jensue - Tom Dascombe 

This daughter of Red Jazz was quite fancied in the betting when making his debut at Beverley. The first five horses were clear of the field and the form has been franked. A good draw in stall 2 is handy. Whether he will have the pace to lead is a matter of opinion. Needs to improve on that first start and be faster into his running here. 

Verdict: A good draw and open to improvement but needs to be much sharper. Others look more suiting to this turning course. 

8) Lady Prancealot - David Evans  NR

A winner and two place effort from three starts. This filly hasn't been disgraced but may lack the speed or class of a few of these. 

Verdict: A relatively wide draw isn't ideal. Has show good pace but looks to have something to prove and a touch exposed. 

9) Light My Fire - Tom Dascombe (NR)

Ran out a nice winner on debut at Ripon. The form of that race doesn't look anything special but not without hope. A decent draw in stall 3. 

Verdict: May need to improve on debut win but a smart introduction. A chance but a couple look more likely. 

10) No Lippy - Mark Johnston 

This daughter of Oasis Dream battled well to win at odds of 2/1 when defying World Order at Nottingham, the pair clear of the third. A terrier of a filly who dug deep to beat a colt. She has the speed to get to the rail and could take some pegging back. 

Verdict: A leading chance. Not easy to assess the form of her debut win but one of three horses entered for this race by the trainer. Would get my vote. 

11) Thegreyvtrain - Ron Harris 

Showed little in first two starts then held on well when runner-up at Kempton behind the potentially smart On The Stage trained by Ed Walker. 

Verdict: A wide draw and limited ability mean this filly has a mountain to climb.
