ch g Frankel - September Stars (IRE) (Sea The Stars)
Took keen hold, soon midfield, headway after 3 out, nudged along and went third inside final 110yds, eyecatcher (inquiry into running and riding; jockey said that his instructions were to drop gelding in and to settle; gelding jumped well on the whole before making a slight mistake at 4th last hurdle which put gelding on back foot momentarily; having turned into home straight, gelding ran on well past horses who were ridden more prominently and that he was very happy with finishing 2 1/4 behind 2nd place; trainer's rep said they were happy with the ride and that it had accorded with instructions given; they stated that gelding would most probably run over a similar trip on his next start and be ridden in the same way with focus on getting historically free-running gelding to settle; their explanations were noted; vet had nothing to report) (op 50/1)
