Why not race Frankel against Duneden over 3200 metres?

I'd suggest Frankel would struggle at 6f in Australia against her
Totally agree. I would imagine that she wouldn't see the mile out and therefore, alas, they will never meet. Unless someone decides to mate them. Their offspring would be tres cher!
Glad she won today and the jockey was very honest in admitting that he very nearly got it wrong.

Jockey admitted it was his mistake not the horse. As he said his mistake did slightly overshadow the first run here of black caviar.

Whilst i disagree with TB on the pedigreeof the horse, he's clearly right to say that you cannot compare the two. It would be like Usain Bolt (ok Dwayne Chambers - clearly the best in his own back yard) versus Seb Coe in his prime
So your telling me frankel would not do 6f and black caviar would not get an extra 1f/2f come off it that was never a sprint. And black caviar has won over 7f so why not compare the 2
?

They brought her over to prove a point, alas they haven't really. The jockey looked so strung out before the race, I said to the wife if anything beats this horse today it'll be him. I don't think we'll see her at Ascot again.
Correct, first and last time she wins here.

Have you not seen her build?
She's a tank of a mare. She weights close to 575kgs.
At the speeds she can run while carrying that weight there's little point stepping her up to longer distances because she's not built to go further than what she's racing now.

I wouldn't be surprised to see her race here again this season. You know what the Aussies are like. Yes the horse won and got the job done but you just got to look at their faces to know they are a little bit pissed off that she didn't set the place alight. Aussies are cocky bastards by nature, they will want too put the record straight. Although the horse has nothing to prove really.

TBH, saw her race in Adelaide for her 20th and there is no way that was a fair reflection. Soft ground made it harder for her along with a jockey who is unused to the conditions. There are some top horses down here, and you dont get 'good' horses winning 22 on the bounce.

Frankel moved 12 lengths clear over final 4f on Tuesday, BC was surrounded at the finish

She's the first odds on favourite to win the race since 1968.

4/6 on the double with frankel. Thanks betfred. A bit concerned the girl needed a calculator to check the bet though. £120 at 4/6 really should not be difficult for a betting clark to work out.

Totally this
Anyone with a modicum of racing knowledge knows that the form is suspect if a blanket covers the field

Really?
I've known horse form for 25+ years and top form comes from races with blanket finishes all the time. So I couldn't disagree with you more.
Form from races where one horse streets the rest is often misleading especially if those behind the winner are exposed for being average animals.
