>probably a positive sign Frankel comes back for this on relatively short rest
Probably is and it worked last week with Midas Eyes. However, it doesn't always work and there is some history as to why Frankel is doing this.
He ran Aptitude in the Jockey Club a few years back, he freaked (Beyer 123) and the horse was tuckered out on BC Day. He skipped the fall campaign with MDO recently and the horse was a little short on BD Day in both years.
So now he is trying to find a happy medium. I will tell you tomorrow night how it worked out.
