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. 

See full result here. 

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

Good luck to connections.

They say the best things are worth waiting for and I'm sure that's the thought of connections as Frankel filly, Frankella, made it third time lucky when winning at Newmarket on the 8th July. This daughter of Frankel out of the Group 1 winning mare Arabian Queen who raced in the same ownership for John Smith. 

However, Frankella hadn't looked a star turn on her two formative starts. She was fancied to go well on her debut at Salisbury when racing over six furlongs but disappointed finishing fifth of nine behind Alfaila, trained by Owen Burrows. Frankella made her return to Salisbury, just ten days later, stepping up to seven furlongs on good to soft going when contesting what looked a very hot maiden. Balding's charge led for a long way before tiring in the final furlong to finish seventh, beaten seventeen-and-a-half lengths. 

To be fair, things weren't looking too promising for this well-bred filly. 

Perhaps making her third start at Newmarket, contesting a Class 2 race, was a sign that she was still held in high regard by Kingsclere Stables. 

In fact, this small, compact filly, was well backed before drifting late in the betting to return at odds of 20/1. 

Racing on faster ground and dropping back to six furlongs saw a purposeful victory, leading for most of the way and holding the late charge of Sean Wood's Princess Shabnam, to win by half-a-length.

It was interesting that Andrew Balding could offer no explanation of the apparent improvement in form. 

However, Oisin Murphy, jockey, said: ''That was a really good result and it was great for the family. Frankella has improved for dropping back to six furlongs and she is very talents.''

From a breeding perspective, this win is worth its weight in gold and there could be more to come.
