Can Frankel book his place against Black Caviar in the final of the Timeform Blueprint Series?
Following on from the Sprint, won by Black Caviar, the second race in the Timeform Blueprint Series is a 1600m World Mile Challenge, featuring the phenomenal Frankel. If you want to find out how he fared against the other top milers from around the world, read on....
The aim of the Timeform Blueprints is to bring together a large body of known information about a selection of horses in order to run a simulation of what might happen if those horses met under the circumstances prescribed.
This information includes: run styles; sectional times; suitability to distance and going; consistency; potential; and, crucially, the recorded Timeform rating of the protagonists in real-life races anywhere in the world.
The result is a visualisation of how a race involving those horses might unfold, from pre-race betting show - via in-race positions, sectionals and prices - to the result itself.
The Timeform Blueprint Series, held at the 'neutral' venue of Meydan, started with the Sprint Challenge, which is still available for viewing at timeform.com, but the focus now moves on to the second race over 1600m, in which the mighty Frankel goes up against the best active milers from all corners of the globe.
