Not one of Frankel’s complete races shown in this video......such a shame! It is the moment when his booster rocket cut in that was/is so totally amazing. I have never, ever, seen another horse like him.
I thought slip anchor reference point oh so sharp and many more from Henry Cecil were outstanding horses but FRANKEL has raised a bar that i don't think will ever be matched ill never forget the commentey in the gunnieas of disbelief in his voice when he says he's 15 lengths clear it outs a shiver down my spine
All I will say is the horse had freakish ability and was befitting the genius that handled him. His Guineas win was extraordinary and I haven't seen a classic won in that manner before or since racing with the choke out for the whole race. American horses have a different style to those that race in Europe and he would never have faced Black Caviar because he would have had to drop to sprint distances, the horse was bred to be a champion and they did a very fine job in keeping him sound and unbeaten and targeting and more importantly winning against everything that was put before him.
I was sat at home one day watching racing and having my usual Saturday bet and I think it was having its second or third race and I remember thinking.... This horse is going to be summit special... Never thought in a million year it would turn out like it did...... Wow... What an animal.... Lost for words.... My grandad lived for horse racing but passed away 3 year before this superstar burst on to the scene... I often wonder what he would of thought of this amazing creature.........
So lucky to be around to see this wonderful specimen of a horse.. i can't imagine i'll ever see another like it in my lifetime. And to be trained by one if not thee greatest of all time Sir henry cecil just makes it so much more heart warming. The greatest racehorse of all time in my opinion..
The Greatest.....no argument to be had. Had 2 shit rides and still overcome them. As much as Dancing Brave is alot people's darling.... Frankel is the greatest of our lifetime
I thought it was frankels pacemaker going too fast in the guineas and then realised it was the legend itself it still makes me smile when i think back to that glorious day
Eclipse is the benchmark. Without Eclipse, there is no Frankel. Remember that it is Eclipse Horse of the Year and Eclipse Stakes. No Frankel Horse of the Year.
That is true but which of them were the highest rated horse to ever run.. frankel was rated 147 which is the highest any flat horse has ever been.. or likely will ever be...
@@scouserdan3 You can debate anything. Eclipse is in many famous horses' pedigrees. He even has a Wikipedia article about him. I would prefer to be called a muppet than be something much lower, like you.
Horse had ability , But NO ONE TALK about the Late & Great Trainer SIR HENRY CECIL~~~ If this horse gone to train by some one else may be 14 out of 9 .
You hear the same names thrown out in arguments about which is the greatest racehorse of all time and it's usually Frankel / Secretariat / Red Rum and so on and so forth. I only recently learned of" Zeleznik" - four time winner of the Velka Pardubicka steeplechase / Czech Grand National. Amazed so little is known in the UK about the race and its winners especially horses and jockeys whose multiple successes are incredible. Not ripping on the all time favourites or legends in any way but think if you're really going to weigh up and list the best racehorses there are some yet to be given due credit.
Sir, any man worth his salt knows that Arkle was the greatest horse. Two handicaps existed - one for when Arkle was in a race ... another for when he was not. Name another horse they did that for. I rest my case. Arkle it was. You mention a Czech race, whcih all Irishmen are aware of, but to say it is equivalent to a gold Cup is nonsense. Then you have Golden Miller who won five of them.
If one only learns how great a horse is when they get beaten ....then we'll never know how good he was. Secretariat was beaten 5 times. Seabird only once.So his timeform rating is possibly higher than 147.
Nothing in the comments about Galileo or the Irish limestone grass that seperates the greats from the also rans. Trainers do not make great horses. They take care of them.
Really only one story where this horse is concerned and it's not even a long one. Frankel was blessed twice by God Almighty himself. The 1st time with the kind of freakish ability that you see maybe every 20 or 30 years, if you're lucky, in a really special horse, and blessed a 2nd time with being afforded an absolute genius trainer in the late Sir Henry Cecil. A man who'd forgotten more about training thoroughbreds than most would ever hope to learn in two lifetimes. A trainer who knew exactly what buttons to press with Frankel to harness and bring out all of that wonderful, God-given skill and ability that Frankel possessed, and he did so brilliantly on pure instinct. I think Frankel was probably destined to be a brilliant racehorse no matter who had trained him, but I think only the late, great Sir Henry Cecil could've turned him into the kind of phenomenal machine that we were fortunate enough to have gotten to see for those 3 seasons on the racetrack. That's the end of my Frankel story. Short, sweet, and to the point!
Excellent reply , frankel had the ability like a lot of horses but sir henry harnessed it perfectly , how wonderful that we were treated to such greatness.
@@peace-now eclipse lived in the 1700s so don't pretend you know how good the horse was and being nearly 300 years ago it's debatable if he exists but yes frankel is the greatest horse of all time bar non
Gutted that enable lost at the arc at the week nd and she won't be held in similar regard to him 😢😢 I was there to witness it the whole of longchamp was gutted in absolute silence
Frankel was good but America's Triple crown winner still holding Time records from 1973, Secreteriat had greatness and was by far best race horse ever.
DID SECRETARIAT EVER RACE THE QUEEN ANNE, 2000 GUINEAS OR CHAMPIONS STAKES OR JUDDMONTE OR SUSSEX STAKES?? I NEVER DISCREDIT A HORSE LIKE SECRETARIAT , MAYBE YOU SHOULD APPRECIATE THE SAME IN FRANKEL .
I HIGHLY DOUBT WE WILL EVER SEE ANOTHER HORSE LIKE THIS, IDFTHERE IS THEY ARE RETIRED TO STUD AT 3 YEARS OLD THESE DAYS, RACING HAS DIPPED SINCE FRANKELS DEPATURE , MUCH LIKE ARKLE HE IS TRUELY A SPECIAL ANIMAL , NOT INTERSTED IN FLAT RACING AS IT IS THEY JUST RETIRE HORSES SO YOUNG ITS DIABOLICAL AND A JOKE
The amount of sour yanks in this comments section is ridiculous. Why are you watching this video if your only intention is to down play the horses achievements in the comments? Do one. The only measure of a horse across eras is the rating system and Frankel is top. Get over it.
Horses are not people. They transend nations, cultures, and continents, There is no such thing as an English horse, or American or Australian Horses. They are are thoroughbed horses.
With Frankel's Top Sires Line, Both Lines Leading To Northern Dancer... With Greater Toronto Area DNA. How could Frankel NOT be a Champion. Like more than 90% of ALL of today's Thoroughbred Champions having Northern's GTA-DNA. Northern Dancer the only Champion The King Of Sires to change the conformation of the Centuries Old Thoroughbred. "Too small they said" rejected at his yearling sale. YET to become 3 year old North American Horse of Year in both his Canada and the USA. Although running on a cracked hoof, that would have kept most horses outta the races. Northern became the Kentucky Derby Champ and record setter. with a time still faster than both his prodigee Triple Crown Grandsons American Pharoah, and Justify 50 years later... Northern Dancer England's last Triple Crown Winner 1970's Nijinsky Sire. The only one in 84 years now. With MILLION DOLLAR STUD FEES in the mid eighties. There will NEVER be another Northern Dancer!!!
The Dancer was the greatest in both departments racing and breeding most of the great horses over the last 40 odd years are through the dancer and to think they were going to geld him just as well they didn't the greatest horse ever
william allan the only horse that was rated against Frankel was Cirrus des Aigles at 135, he beat him by 1.75 lengths say 4 lb, and he was a lesser horse at 6yo, how come Frankel is at 147 ( 12 lb) 6 lengths better
Go back to bed William, ratings are based off a career - not one race. They rated him 147 to put him above everyone else. If you're suggesting CDA should be rated 145 you should delete your YT account.
He rated 147 for his win in the Queen Anne Stks. They assign ratings on each individual performance, not an overall rating of a horse or its career. If you know so little about how ratings apply perhaps just don't comment.
Every once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, God sends us a Miracle.....a glimpse of perfection. Frankel-Greatest of the Greats.
I’m 35 and he’s the greatest horse I’ve ever seen.
Best horse I have ever seen. I am an Aussie that has Winks, Black Caviar and Makybe Diva to compare him against.
Freedom patriot
Winx was fantastic, she could have won anywhere.
Brings a tear of happiness to my eye... Frankel is priceless. We will be extremely lucky to se another like him.
Before Frankel..Brigadier Gerard..Secretariat...befor SEA Bird Ribot...every 10 20 years...a new champion
Reckon Baaeed will be the new frankel?
Yeah me 2 brother

The racing world will never be the same without them.. Very well said two legends that will never be forgotten
If we're talking unbeatable horses winx is the best. Obviously some horses race at different distances but she's the queen of racing
Immortal Frankel, brilliance does not come along very often in any sport. Let us see who can follow this ?
His daughter bedtime story won the Chesham today at ascot and she destroyed them by nearly 10 lengths his brilliance lives on with his progeny

My personale opinion for the EUROPEAN RACES....RIBOT for the AMERICAN..Always SECRETARIAT
The reason is that..Frankel have never race the Arc..King George and the DERBY of Epsom...or the Kentucky-pREAKNESS OR BELMONT
DID SECRETARIAT EVER RACE THE QUEEN ANNE, 2000 GUINEAS OR CHAMPIONS STAKES OR JUDDMONTE OR SUSSEX STAKES?? I NEVER DISCREDIT A HORSE LIKE SECRETARIAT , MAYBE YOU SHOULD APPRECIATE THE SAME IN FRANKEL .
DIFFERENT RACE DIFFERENT COURSE DIFFERENT ERA, I HIGHLY DOUBT SECRETARIAT WOULD OF BEATEN FRANKEL OVER A MILE ON GRASS ? JMO

@@Nautilus1972 NO, CDA is not 145 and neither is Frankel 147
He rated 147 for his win in the Queen Anne Stks.
