Fahr was a group1 winner and Frankel went past him like he was standing still...immense power and talent 👏...shame we never saw him perform at 4/5 because I think he would have won the arc and gone to America and kicked their butt's too...incredible horse..
Greatest ever!! Those that disagree don't know racing! Never again will an Animal like this be seen Genius is a word used to much but this horse was a Genius!
He was Great, but by not Racing over a Mile and a Half in the Arc or Breeders Cup because of fear of Him losing Means all the Over the Top plaudits from Commentators and Punters Alike is unfounded. Sea the Stars won the lot in Europe, His Arc win was Superb but Nobody hardly mentions Him now ...Very odd Imo
At a mile i agree probably unbeatable but at the classic distance of 1,4 he would not have had the stamina to beat the great Dancing Brave or even See the Stars
@@kevinmunday5782 I totally agree in my 40 years watching Racing the 2 greatest thoroughbreds at 1.4 were Dancing Brave and See the Stars what a race those 2 would have had
Frankel was great and could well be the greatest ever and I think he would get 1 1/2 easy aswell but we will never know . Sea the stars is up there but for me dancing brave is the greatest .
Down inside the 3 they come ... and Frankel is still on a tight rein and the crowd really start to get excited... gets me every time. First time at the trip and absolutely bolted up from some very good horses behind...
Watching this in 2019 along with his performances in the Queen Anne, 2000 guineas, Sussex & the Royal Lodge; being a racing fan since the time I saw Shergar's sublime performance in the Derby, I am convinced that Frankel, in the manner which he totally outperforms the racing world & the emotions which he elicits is the greatest regardless of division, distance or hemisphere.
Here I am on one of those binges of greatest ever performances, and tonight,its again Frankel ' the Freak' ; marveling at those seminal performances in the 2000 Guineas, the Sussex stakes, Queen Anne, Royal Lodge and the Juddmonte International, and having the benefit of witnessing the 20 Group 1 winners from his offspring so far - which is phenomenal in itself - I am of the view that the statement from Willie Carson after the Queen Anne, to the effect that when finally an examination of this freak of nature's physiology is made, they may well discover something out of the ordinary, for instance a larger than normal lung/heart.
Even though it was stated that he wouldn't stay beyond a mile,I cant help but wonder how he would have coped at a mile 4. The ease of this 10 furlong win leads to wonder. Nijinsky won at all distances up to 1 mile 6. Its different brilliance for different era's. Frankel is definitely up there among the best ever
Lets just talk about how good this horse was the 2nd and 3rd horses are multiple group.1 winners and it was said that their second and third finishes were the fastest of their careers LET THAT SINK IN!!!!THE BEST HORSE TO LOOK THROUGH S BRIDLE HANDS DOWN!!!
No questions at all, he could have cantered that whole race without turning the screw and won on the bridle, Bullet Train was sent off to be a pacemaker but the two O'Brien horses ensured it was a strongly run race and there was no doubt on his stamina. He pushed him out the last furlong to make it emphatic, he could have sat on him without releasing the reins and won that all day long. and Truthfully i think he would have cruised up at 1m4f as well... My husky is called Kauto because he was born before Frankel appeared on a racecourse and the star was my favourite, the next will be Frankel ;) Would have loved to have seen him in the arc!
You guys just watch FRANKELS action when the jockey is motionless upon the saddle the horse actually is competing i mean on his on on the bridle THE BEST RACEHORSE EVER
The crowd was a gasp there. To be honest so am I that was the first I watched the race. My goodness what a horse pure genius brilliant best ever . God bless.
The whole story was amazing, a horse of raw talent, who 90% of the time told the jockey how he wanted to run, and a trainer of the Highest Quality in poor health, bringing this amazing string of top victories. Frankel was a complete racehorse and only the best make it look that easy, they can speak of Secretariat, Sea The Stars and the like, but Frankel was a one off, he could win from any position, even at Royal Ascot he went too quick and the wrong tactics were deployed he still managed to last home. Superb racehorse and no less than Henry deserved in his last years of training.
Stablemate Bullet Train was sent out to set the pace, and that didnt even happen and then to see Frankel canter past them down the straight ...... What a race, what a horse. Sublime. Greatest ever ? Without a doubt in my book.
NO BETTER horse than Frankel ever. Any idiot on here who says so clearly never saw him or any other of his challengers. Class and intelligence never seen before in a horse, simply the smartest and quickest race horse the world has ever seen.
He got better with age... He got stronger... Settled better... No doubt in my mind he had the engine to win over longer distances. In fact there is an argument to say that he was operating over an inadequate trip.
TQ didn't do anything and he was accelerating, just the roar of the crowd got him goinh I think. Such a smart horse with a lively personality. Perfection.
Frankel has the best RPR, because he could win a race from any position Watch all his races and i defy anybody to argue that Henry Cecil didnt give orders to Tom Queally, and he rode to instruction,
Not a horse been born who could humiliate World Champion ,St Nicholas Abbey, or Farrh like that except for Frankel ! He is just "different gravy"! Different Gravy definition for our non English speaking friends: "A standard so much higher than anything else that comparison is pointless"
well i think too many are bias and they think older horses are a bit more "romantic" because they ran when they were younger. i never saw the brigadier or mill reef or any of the greats from yesteryear. the trainers all say he's a wonder horse i can't compete with their knowledge so he's number 1 to me. cracks me up when people say he's nothing, yep all experts and people in racing say he's the best but you alone say he's crap.... i know who i believe haha
IMO, Frankel won this one effectively all by himself instead of having Bullet Train to make the pace, since such position was taken by those of Ballydoyle during the race, which made his own pacemaking became useless. Therefore, TBH, those guys sticking to claim he won only with pacemaker can shut up.
@extraordinary1980 They get some form of shares, I remember Willy Carson saying that he asked the owner for some form of shares in Troy and he reckoned it was a usual agreement between owner and Jockey.
I love sts but this horse is another realm I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE...STS WOULD GET 2 LENGTHS AND FRANKEL KN 5 SECONDS SKIPS 5 CLEAR...PHENOMENON!!!!
@@leniquemcdonald507 th-cam.com/video/aMvmAsRmwqo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/pfRzDsG3a70/w-d-xo.html I need not say more, but i will. The vision speaks for itself. Frankel was overrated and had slowest sectionals,never broke any track records and won only one classic. He was just racing hacks
Yep over 1m 4f STS for sure, 1m2f would have been a max of a length between them and would have gone either way on the day. Frankel by 3 over 2 mile despite STS being a guineas winner....maybe a length if it was on soft

How can you come to that conclusion when he never raced overseas? Or met the world's best?
@@russe19642 Frankle beat the best that was here, I can't find any evidence that Secretariat travelled over here and many claim he's the best ever.

The good Lord broke the mould when he made Frankel 👌👌👌

For about 3 seconds Joseph O'Brien thought "I've got this" .... then reality kicked in .... Majestic

My home town race course.
Immaculate performance, I've still got the 'Go Frankel' paddle. One off my bucket list, seen the best racehorse ever.
No questions at all, he could have cantered that whole race without turning the screw and won on the bridle, Bullet Train was sent off to be a pacemaker but the two O'Brien horses ensured it was a strongly run race and there was no doubt on his stamina.

Still watching in 2022, what a horse.

Me and you could have sat on him and he'd have won, absolute machine 👌👌

Pulling double 3 out against St NA multiple G1 winner just shows how brilliant Frankel was.
And farrhh, can’t forget how good that horse was too
Frankel is such an outstanding horse that I feel the jockey need never use his whip. Hands and heels ! Hands and heels !
NO BETTER horse than Frankel ever. Any idiot on here who says so clearly never saw him or any other of his challengers. Class and intelligence never seen before in a horse, simply the smartest and quickest race horse the world has ever seen.
"Queally shakes the reins". I don't think he even needed to shake them to have won. A very special horse.
He got better with age...
He got stronger...
Settled better...
No doubt in my mind he had the engine to win over longer distances. In fact there is an argument to say that he was operating over an inadequate trip.
Absolutely
The horse hadnt hit peak.
He woukd have run the 2400m EASILY
Wow, to think a 6x Group 1 Winner ran a career best and still finished 7 lengths behind.. that is mind-blowing!
im so low but this keeps me alive to watch something so wonderful
Absolute Machine !
His best performance
Pleasure to watch every time cant wait to see his offspring
What a shout this was!
TQ didn't do anything and he was accelerating, just the roar of the crowd got him goinh I think. Such a smart horse with a lively personality. Perfection.
Undisputed champion of the world..
Summed up perfectly...
The only horse I've seen come close to Dancing Brave...
A pleasure to watch
What a great combination? Henry Cecil, Tom Queally, and the one and only Frankel.
Frankel has the best RPR, because he could win a race from any position Watch all his races and i defy anybody to argue that Henry Cecil didnt give orders to Tom Queally, and he rode to instruction,
Should've named this colt "Rick James", because he was definitely a super freak!
Crowd went silent when frankel came slowly out the stalls 🤣
Would of liked to have seen him run in the States , at the Breeders cup meeting ..Sadlers Wells and Danehill bloodlines, Legendary ✌️💯
The Breeders Cup should be run outside the U.S on occasion and on other tan flat lefthanded ovals.
@@chuckemeade I do remember it being held in Canada the one time , Woodbine I think 🤔
comes to something when even jump trainers and jockeys come to see a flat horse running best horse ever

Would loved Henry Cecil to have tried him in the Arc
Unlikely, since the distance of the Arc is a little bit too long for Frankel. That may be also the reason why he didn't run in the Derby.
@@myfrobert judged on this performance. the arc would seriously have a chance of being within his capabilities as a 4 yo.
Wasn't up to it and definitely wasn't as great as see the stars
@@myfrobert it was,he's trainer said he didn't think he'd stay
Don’t know what’s best
The display
Or the commentary
amazing
Amo corrida de cavalo
I wished he'd of raced at 1m 4f, they still wouldn't of touched him
Wow unbelievable horse

Therefore, TBH, those guys sticking to claim he won only with pacemaker can shut up.
On that evidence he surly could have got 12f? i would have loved to see him go for the Arc but he did enough.
wow
Do jockeys get paid after the horse is retired for stud fees
@extraordinary1980
They get some form of shares, I remember Willy Carson saying that he asked the owner for some form of shares in Troy and he reckoned it was a usual agreement between owner and Jockey.
He would have won the arc
good horse but n.1 it's Ribot
Sea the stars would have bullied frankel

Chaplins was a handicapper 😆
Lol
Six furlong maybe!!
great champion.... only Secretariat and Ribot are better than Frankel.....
Yeah...hmmmm lol
Dancing Brave.
6f,7f,1m,1m2f and 1m4f....
But Frankel was a beast...
Secretariat did not retire undefeated with 10 group 1s
Winx has them all covered
