Frankel leaves jockey Tom Queally in the shade during Newmarket blitz ahead of likely finale at Ascot Sir Henry Cecil's colt, who is very likely to round off his incredible and so-far unbeaten career in the Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot on Saturday week, was partnered by his usual work rider Shane Featherstonhaugh on the Rowley Mile. His professional rider Queally set the pace on Midsummer Sun, leading for six furlongs of the near-mile exercise before Frankel breezed past him and finished well over a dozen lengths clear. Cecil had taken the world's top-rated horse to the same track the Saturday before last for another outing, where he was watched by a large crowd before racing, blitzing away from two stablemates before returning to applause in the winner's enclosure. "This was more informal - he only had one lead horse this time - but he came away nicely clear as he always does," said Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager to owner Prince Khalid Abdullah. Shane was on Frankel, Tom was on Midsummer Sun and everything went very well, it was a good bit of work and we were all very happy. It's so far, so good. Frankel will be performing in front of a very important racing fan on the Berkshire course. Charles Barnett, chief executive at Ascot, said: "We are delighted that The Queen will be coming to Qipco British Champions Day and she will present the trophy for the race named in her honour, the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes." Her Majesty could have a runner in that race, as last year's Investec Derby third Carlton House holds an entry.
