Frankel to train Alinghi

Last updated: 4/12/05 9:26 PM

ALINGHI (Encosta de Lago), purchased last week by John Messara's Arrowfield

Stud for a reported A$3 million, will be shipped to the United States Sunday to

join the barn of trainer Bobby Frankel, according to AAP Racing and Sports.

"There are no set plans regarding her racing program, but there are numerous

Group 1 races for fillies and mares that will suit Alinghi in America," Messara

said. "We will wait and see how she settles in after the trip and the new

environment in New York. Ideally she will be set for turf races, although that

is not ruling out the option of running her on the dirt at some stage."

A nine-time stakes heroine in Australia, the four-year-old filly won this season's Robert Sangster S. (Aus-G1) and

Newmarket H. (Aus-G1).
