He looks a bit like Vodka. If he can run like his great mom, he could have a very bright future.

Hmm, in a related note - does anyone know what happened with Vodka's other daughter by Sea the Stars - Case by Case (IRE)? Pedigree Query says she was unregistered by the JRA in 2015, what does that mean...?

Yep...looks like mom.
IIRC, Vodka is a sizable mare, and Frankel probably needed lifts in his shoes for their date.

Gorgeous George lives on as granddaughter gains stakes success
Listed win for filly out of late George Washington's only foal

Cute video clip of Tanino Frankel (JPN) being a typical two-year-old colt with the "I'm gonna bite you if I can" game (I have no explanation for the piano cover of Linkin Park's 'Numb' as the background music, tho )

De Coronado (full to Zenyatta) won today at Dundalk.

He seems to like the AW. Maybe they ought to send him over here and see if he likes dirt.

Thanks for that update on Zen's not-so-little brother. I was just thinking about him yesterday and wondering what had become of him.
Like the Big Mare, he appears to also be a late-bloomer, and I agree that he might do better over here. IIRC, O'Brien said something about him being the largest colt he had trained, which doesn't usually help on the grass, especially good to soft turf.

"I thought he'd win if I could get into the middle of the track where the quickest ground is," said Heffernan.
"He needs a dead level surface - he's a dirt horse. He's probably still a bit immature. He was a wee bit green and immature.
"He has an amazing pedigree but has let us down a bit before. I thought I'd win if I was able to get up the middle of the track with him."

He's gorgeous, and it would appear that his rider is quite sure about where...and on what...he needs to run.
Man, I really hope Coolmore decides to send him over The Pond to a trainer here. (Who would you choose?)
He's got a tremendous stallion pedigree, but he really needs to earn some black type to go along with that..

It looks like Spinning Wildcat is a good producer for either surface.
