Default Frankel to run in the Arc

Just kidding.

No BC or Arc. Next race, and I imagine it's his last, is the Champion Stakes going 1 1/4 on 10/20.

Weak. Who will really care? They may as well have just had a parade.

There is one reason, and one reason only, why Frankel is still running in the UK, and only the UK. It's disappointing, but to a degree, understandable. No matter what, though, history will not look kindly on it.

Cecil can't go anywhere else, he's incredibly ill, and they don't want to take the horse away from him. I don't mean give him to another trainer, but literally, separate him from the horse with a trip.

Yes Kind thoughts to Cecil. He deserves to keep his hands and eye on Frankel every single day.
