Undefeated Frankel is set to take on 10 rivals in the Queen Anne Stakes (Eng-I) on the opening day of Royal Ascot this Tuesday.

The eight-furlong contest is the first of three group I races on the opening day of the five-day race meeting.

The Sir Henry Cecil-trained Frankel will be ridden once again by Tom Queally, and will be joined by his half-brother and pacemaker, Bullet Train in the Queen Anne. Frankel’s chief rivals appear to be Aidan O’Brien’s Excelebration, who he has defeated four previous times, and Strong Suit, a Richard Hannon-trained colt who captured the Burj Khalifa Challenge Stakes (Eng-II) last year.

    Is there any way to watch this race online?

    The race will more than likely be shown either on the Racing Post’s website (racingpost.com), or on Racing UK’s site (racinguk.com). The Racing Post will have a replay available for free, but I believe there’s a charge (or you need to open an account) if you want to watch it live.

    Same goes for TVG and HRTV.

    There are plenty of internet radio options also available on the UK websites,   like Totesport for example.

    The Racing Post does not show races live.  They do have a text commentary for each race.
    The rights to show races from Ascot on non-terrestrial tv belong to At The Races (http://www.attheraces.com/) so you probably won’t be able to view the races on Racing UK.

    The races will also be broadcast on the BBC, if you can access a feed for BBC1 (I don’t think you can access BBC iPlayer from outside the UK) yuo can watch it there.

    Hello??  They were able to find 10 suckers, ah sorry I meant horses, to run against Frankel?? That Frankel can be beaten is “possible but highly improbable”. P.S. Another incredible Beauty. Your photo is gorgeous!!
