EVERY punter knows the famous story of how legendary racehorse Frankel famously outran the 7.13am train from Newmarket to Cambridge.
But it looks like a new legend could be made after a ‘monster’ Royal Ascot runner appeared to show more zip than a car in a ‘blistering’ piece of work.

Millionaire runner Satono Reve impressed all those who saw him on the July track at Newmarket on Wednesday morning.
Trained by Noriyuki Hori, the international raider looked a machine when extending under the watchful eye of his master trainer.
Footage of his work showed a car in the distance fail to get up close to the six-year-old as he absolutely flew past those near the post.
And his workmate, a local horse trained by James Horton, was soon left trailing in his wake.
But it was Moore’s role in the saddle that really got tongues wagging ahead of Satono Reve’s intended run in the star-studded Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes next Saturday.
Satono Reve has won seven of his 11 career races and amassed more than £2.5million in prize money.
British punters may not know much about him but he has form against Ka Ying Rising – officially the best sprinter in the world.
Paddy Power and Ladbrokes cut the speedster to 6-1 from 8s after footage of Satono Reve’s work under Moore spread online.
Paddy’s Paul Binfield said: “There’s been a bit of interest for the Japanese raider this morning and while it’s hard to equate winning a Grade One at Chukyo with the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes, the volume we’ve seen has forced us into evasive action and the Hori-trained runner is into 6-1 from 8s.”
Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes added: “Satono Reve placed behind superstar Ka Ying Rising on both his previous trips abroad, and punters are excited to see how that translates at Royal Ascot.”
Punters absolutely loved what they saw.
One said Satono Reve ‘burned up the turf’ while another added in response to the footage simply: “Monster.”
He’ll have his work cut out in the race proper, with globe-trotting superstar Lazzat, one of many recently bought by Wathnan, heading the market at 3-1.
