Franny vs. Beautiful Muriel

How much of a claim? Franny is a champion ....load aim fire

BEAUTIFUL MURIEL .....

• unraced
• fourteenth foal
  dam yet to breed a single horse to earn any black type - large or small
  maybe the Magnier/Shanahan connections have impressed someone

Doesn't quite measure up to FRANNY's attributes!

Hibs was a claim of 10000/2500 on the 4/1. So not a lot of money. Often people see De Kock and take a chance. I will rather go for the proven than the unknown.

People will also deduce that De Kock as so much 2yo firepower that it must be significant that this is the horse he has chosen to run here. He did get Kavanagh to win on debut in the Nursery (an even better race than this one) two years ago, but flopped when trying the same thing with a couple of others (Amanee, Royal Ridge, if I recall correctly.) Franny should be hard to beat to put it mildly, although I'd perhaps be worried if the going is really soft on the day.

Personally like many people I was very very impressed with Franny's cruising speed and the second horse came out and won just a few days thereafter so for me should be 1to3 I rekon lump on load the cannon and empty out Franny by 5

Is this the first Coolmore/Magnier owned runner in SA?

I don't think so? I'm pretty sure Sue Magnier has had horses here before?

if the Mdk baby can go with Soft falling rain then it will match Franny !

Anybody know?

boys you dont get clever with mdk when do you learn?! if he put the 1st timer in such a race and the money it come, I say one thing be careful!!!

I didn't agra, it seemed as thou everything just went horribly wrong from the start, out the gates he lost a good 4 legnths and was always trailing and had to shift half way down to try and break through. On paper he had the whole field beat, and personally I think if the horse got a decent jump out the gates he wouldhave beaten lerena's horse. He did come on after the race and say they were not too confident on the horse but were expecting a good run, and he said his best for the day was pylon, so he also must have thought cats game was the horse to beat not his ride. But that's punting, ended up recovering losses, caught the jackpot 1.5x and fired the payout on pylon. Can't see anything beating franny thou, not even a de kock first timer.

was FRONT (of) HOUSE not the Magnier horse MDK trained here before taking of to DUBAI ?

I think that Mary Slack owned FH in partnership with Magnier.
