Frankel superb in Newmarket gallop Frankel, the world's highest-rated thoroughbred, confirmed his well-being with a racecourse gallop at Newmarket today. Sir Henry Cecil colt's future had been in jeopardy after he suffered a leg injury on April 11th, but he received the all-clear to race on following a positive scan a week later. The unbeaten four-year-old this weekend moved up the gears in his preperation for the JLT Lockinge Stakes at Newbury on May 19th with a most positive piece of work under Tom Queally. Frankel, owned by Khalid Abdullah, was put through his paces up the Rowley Mile alongside regular lead-horse Bullet Train and Jet Away. The son of Galileo took a keen hold for Queally and soon burst clear of his stable companions in his customary exuberant fashion, stretching clear in tremendous style. Frankel was returning to the scene of one of his finest days on a racecourse when he turned in a simply breathtaking performance in last season's 2000 Guineas. Cecil's inmate went on to claim the St James's Palace Stakes, the Sussex Stakes and Queen Elizabeth II Stakes during an unforgettable campaign which elevated him to the summit of the world thoroughbred rankings.
