Tattershalls
and Frankel
Frankel’s offspring sold at Tattersalls Book 1 sale over
three days but the price they went for was well below expectation. On the other
hand was the expectation way to high, he is after all an unproved stallion. One
of his colts went for 750,000gns whilst colt out of Galileo sold for 1.25m gns.
When his first progeny hit the tracks next year we will
see what we see. Last June one of his foals sold for 1,15 millions. Lets not
forget though that Northern Dancer the leading sire in Great Britain appears on
both
sides of Frankel’s blood lines.

F1:
How does Lewis
relax a few days before his next big race. By going to the fashion shows in
Paris of course, where else would he go.
Lewis Hamilton is
headed for the World Championship with only 5 more races to go, Russia - this
weekend, USA, Mexico, Brazil and finally Abu Dabi. He has 277 points and his
nearest rival, Rosberg 229. 2nd on the grid for Russia passing
Rosberg is the target.
Whispers continue
as to who may be driving for whom next year, and indeed which manufacturers and
engine makers will still be left standing with cars to take part in 2016.
Jenson Buttons
has said he is staying with McLaren. Groshean is going to race for the new
American F1 team ‘HASS’. Redbull is divorcing from Renault, Mercedes won’t pay
ball quite, and Ferrari have neither confirmed or otherwise about an engine for
them.
Helmutt Marko has
said there is another option. Not to be in F1 next year, other options? May be
Red Bull will bring out a kiddie car. Remember, the ones with pedals you pushed
back and forth with your feet. No? I guess buying bits from here and there
might work. Bernie is on the run!
The formula 1 web
site that explains the rules of how it all works out if you want to have a go
at it à http://goo.gl/xo97ln There is a lot to learn
about car design, engineering rules, tyre rules, fuel rules and cost rules, and
who controls what. My head is still spinning with it all.
Tennis-
The Chinese Open:
Raffers
made it to the last 8 standing , He beat Jack Sock 3-6 6-4 6-3. His next match is against Fabio
Fognini who put him out of the US Open earlier in the year. Nadal has not made it to a semi final for
almost a year so I hope his injuries and operations are all in the past and he
really his prowess when on top form will surely see him in the finals.
The ladies Chinese Open has progressed to the
semi finals. Muguuza will play Radwanska and Ivanovic plays Bacsinszky. You can
watch matches live on the official WTA web site. You can watch
the live matches here http://goo.gl/ucC92N
but take notice of the time difference between here and there. The final will I am
sure be a bobby dazzler.
