Frankel set to have pacemaker Frankel is likely to have the help of his stablemate and three-parts brother Bullet Train as a pacemaker in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot next month. Bullet Train leads the brilliant three-year-old colt in all his work at home and trainer Sir Henry Cecil wants to ensure the Qipco-sponsored Group One over a mile is run at a proper gallop. "I don't want Frankel to lead all the way. Hopefully there will be a decent pace and we don't need Bullet Train, but he is there to make sure it is a sensible pace for Frankel whatever the others do," said the Warren Place maestro. "He's a three-parts brother, he's a very good lead horse, he leads him in all his work at home. "He's a year older, he's not in the same class, but he is a Classic trial winner. He'll make sure they won't crawl around." While believing there is no such thing as a certainty, Cecil admits defeat would be hard to take if he has Frankel at his best on the day (October 15th). "If I can get him right I'd be very disappointed if he doesn't win," he told At The Races. "He's got a great chance if I can get him there as I want to. "I wouldn't swap him, but that doesn't mean I'm going to win. "I don't think he'll really mind what the ground is. I wouldn't mind if it did get a little bit soft. He's a Galileo, Sadler's Wells, he will go with a bit of give in the ground. "He's won with give in the ground and he's won on fast ground. I think he will get away with whatever ground it is."
