[LeTiss 4pm]

After all the hype, that was a fairly unspectacular performance

[superfrank]

poor ride?

if she hadn't jumped out so smartly she'd have lost.

she's no Frankel

[Euler]

I can't work out if it was the horse or the jockey. For a 1.27 shot that wasn't convincing.

[andyfuller]

Yup have to agree, not as great as I was expecting even allowing for the easing up. Jockey wouldn't have been able to go back to Australia had he lost that!

[SpikeyBob]

I must say, I wasn't that impressed, however, I don't think the jockey pushed her too much.

[PeterLe]

Great for the sport though!! Hope you all did well on it!

[andyfuller]

Give me Frankel any day over her.

[Euler]

Looked in detail at the replay I think Luke Noonan eased up when hands and heels. I think he didn't really ride her out. But I have to say if I had to pick a performance this week is has to be Frankel's it was just breathtaking.

[hgodden]

Not her fault people made her a 1.2 shot. I don't want to be billy hindsight here but wasnt it a bit obvious that all the travelling and unfamilar surroundings would take a bit out of her? Send Frankel half way around the world with all what that involves and I bet he wouldnt be as impressive. She did still win a major group 1 with arguably poor jockeymanship (if there is such a term )

[legendz]

well watching the replay , you would have thought the cocky jamie spencer was riding her.
