As readers of this blog know, it's now Day 2 of the Royal Ascot. Yesterday, as expected, Frankel won the Queen Anne's Stake. I saw a video of the race (below), and it gave me goose bumps. Frankel's performance shattered his rivals'--he won by 11 lengths! The horse is now valued at at least ₤100 million. It is the fastest racehorse in the world. Timeform, Britain's equivalent of the US's Daily Racing Form, has provisionally given Frankel the highest rating bestowed in the organization's 64-year history. (Have I mentioned that I'm gaga about Frankel? Can you tell?)
Other news from the Royal Ascot: This year, with the dress code having been tightened, organizers have a team of dress code assistants at the track's turnstiles who are passing out waistcoats, ties, pashminas, and other items to those who fail the to pass the code! (Hey, if you don't want to dress all fancy-schmacy, don't attend the Royal Ascot, right? Or is it the epitome of elitism?)
