I can't undersand how you can say that about such a fantastic horse like Frankel, have you not just watched the performance he put in! in your eyes he may remain a one trick pony but to the rest of the world he is the number 1 rated horse in the world. an absolute legend. he doesn't need to travel around the world as the best races are in England not Australia
The joy at which Frankel seems to run with is like watching a child bound through a meadow with total freedom. I've never seen a horse run like it really WANTS to win the race, it's head going up and down like a piston. Sensational.
To: @arryharry - I can not remember which race it was but after the finish as Tom Queally had brought him to a turn-a-round and walk back, he had to pull hard on the reins as Frankel was making out to go again. A 'freak' of a horse. Born to run.
This performance was... absolutely Ridiculousssss! You just can't dispute his claim to the pound for pound throne after watching this.. He's Majestic in every element!
How can you possibly describe this horse. He is something out of this world as someone called him today. I cannot get my head round it. Everyone is amazed. The jockeys are too busy admiring his ability, performance and brilliance and so they don't have time to be disappointed about being beaten. He is also so incredibly calm, cameras in his face, thousands of people cheering, fanfares and he just saunters along like there's no noise at all. Everyone should be in awe of this wonderhorse.
So proud to say I was there to see that. Simply breathtaking, The best horse ever and he's only going one way from now on. Scary that he could be better over 10f
Just like me, mate. Been watching racing for 30 years and even The Brave couldn't cope with this fella. We won't see a better horse in our lifetimes, no way.
The greatest single performance of all time by the mighty Frankel! 14 races and 14 wins! Thirteen victories at odds on.One Group One at sp of 1/20 and two at 1/10.He could lead,could be covered up in midfield or he could come from last to first. Royal Ascot 2012 was billed as Frankel,the wonder horse,and Black Caviar,the wonder mare.There was no comparison! Frankel broke the rules of racing.A normal aggregate distance for a day at Royal Ascot would be around 7 lengths for the six race card but on this day,it was over 14 lengths for the card.Because of ...FRANKEL !!
yes and when has a horse almost broke the track record on ground described as good to soft. Never is the answer and at Ascot of all places. Home of the king George where were the likes of mill reef royal palace sir ivor and Nijinsky have strutted their stuff. I believe if it had not been for Cecil's illness he would have raced in the breeders cup and won obviously
well we did invent for want of a better word thoroughbred racing. Sidney Godolphin brought over three Arab stallions which he bred with horses from this country. Every thoroughbred racing today is a direct descendent of those three horses
I can confirm there aren't enough words in the English dictionery to describe how good this horse really is... Brilliant is a massive under statment.... Frankel must have been kidnaped by aliens when he was a pony and they transformed his racing ability into something out of this planet.. My word i now believe there's a God.
I firmly believe Frankel could have been a sprinter. The early pace he showed in the 2000 Guineas and to be able to maintain that on probably the toughest straight course anywhere in the world (Rowley Mile) was phenomenal. The July Cup that year was Frankels for the taking, Dream Ahead could not live with Frankels turn of foot yet he turned out to be Champion Sprinter in Europe last year. Im glad connections took the route of staying at a mile...
Thank you very much for posting this video! This was a wonderful race to watch! I honestly almost cried at such a beautiful performance. All of the horses were excellent, but as in all races there can only be one true winner. I commend Excelleration for trying to keep up. Frankel looks like a winner both on and off the track. He seems easy going and as the commentator said he has a big heart. This is my first time actually seeing him run and I could simply tell you.... Amazing.
In my short 30 years on this planet i have seen dominance in various sports. I have been lucky enough to see Pacquiao box, Messi play football, Senna drive an F1 car and Michael Phelps in a swimming pool (to name but a few). Without hesitation I can add Frankel to this list of incredible sporting dominance that has given us all some amazing and life long memories. This horse is quite simply the best of its generation. Frankel truely is the greatest racehorse in the world today. Maybe ever.....?
Unbelievable. I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I witnessed this today. The first 1-10 horse I've seen in a Gr1 and to win by 11 lengths 0.7 secs outside the track record on Good-Soft ground is just a ridiculous stat. Like Sir Peter O'Sullivan stated and hes seen the very best thoroughbreds over the years this horse is ''Extraterrestial''
Greatest horse that ever lived. People will always try and argue otherwise because we've reached perfection and it's a difficult realisation that no horse will ever give the same thrill.
yep he was a great race horse at his time. Sadly due to the different track conditions of those races he was really great on a few tracks, being in the top 5-6 in fastest times, but in a few tracks wasn't so good, being 20-30th placed or more. Like the Queen anne i think he was just .67 off being the fastest, while at the champion race he was almost 9 seconds from being close to the fastest.
Whew, thanks so much for the update. My initial comment was a little exaggerated based on one or two bad incidents, but I am glad to hear Bullet train will have a good life too :)
11 lengths winner. 0.6 outside the track record in good to soft ground, and it turns out he lost a shoe halfway. Amazing Can't wait till saturday to see BC win easily then we can admire to brilliant horses.
This time 2 years ago to the day i was at the Ledger meeting at Doncaster when my friend and i saw this horse bolt up in a decent conditions race.My friend said to me"Thats looks like it will turn out to be a bit useful". Pretty good judge my friend to say the least!!
Timeform ratings:- Frankel 147. Black Cavier 136 Now, don't get me wrong here - BC is a fabulous horse, and in most years would stand at the top of the pile, but this year - sorry she sits a distant second. Even Peter Moody admitted that this performance from Frankel was probably the best he'd ever seen. I say just enjoy them both for the fabulous horses that they are.
Yeah that videos unreal mate, beautiful to watch. It'll be a bloody long time before we have something like these two again, and Frankels got what 3 races to go? BC who knows. Not long until theyre gone really and we'll miss them dearly
On Frankel. One of the finest performances we have ever seen on a race course in my history in racing. He is the worlds best racehorse? He is. You saw why today, I saw why today. Absoluetly a superb racehorse and I dont think I have seen the equal of that performance ever. Not my words but Peter Moody's words being interviewed by TVN's Bruce Clark after Frankels 11l win 0.6secs off the track record on good to soft. Why dont you aussies agree with the man who knows Peter Moody
As someone who is neither English nor Australian, I really don't understand why these two magnificent horses need to be USED to fuel feelings of "national pride". Frankel and Black Caviar are incredible horses, period!
Well done to Frankel & Sir Henry today at Goodwood today on the horses emphatic victory and hope Henry Cecil beats his illness. Frankel strolled it, and he was obviously eased up in preparation for the Juddmonte at York, yet he still destroyed the opposition. I can't wait to see Frankel at the Juddmonte. Seen many great horses on the Knavesmire as a York resident, but I'm more excited about Frankel than any other horse. Make no mistake, Frankel is a horse in a lifetime.
I've never seen a horse that gets even close to the level Frankel can run to, nevermind one as good as him. I've been watching racing since the early 80s and I am in no doubt this horse is by some way the best. Excelebration is a class act in his own right, so for Frankel to do that to him is frightening.
Timeform Racehorses of 2012 "Many of the current generation of British racegoers will be lucky to see another as good. Today's champions have the chance to prove themselves on the global stage. Did it really matter that Frankel never ran at a mile and a half, or that he never raced abroad, or on any surface other than turf? In terms purely of the quality of his performances, Frankel had nothing left to prove. He was a phenomenon for the racing world to wonder at." Abridged
i agree totally they are 2 amazing horses who are all time greats and how often does this happen that we can enjoy 2 horses like this running at the same time.when people from either side start trying to downplay what the other has done its just ridiculus.could you imagine if these 2 got together in the breeding shed i can see it now if their offspring won a race youd have people arguing which side was more responsible for the win.
Heres some facts. Frankel’s top speed was measured by Turftrax, between 5 and 6 furlongs and clocked 42.53mph in good to soft ground and finished just 0.6 secs off the track record For those who think Frankle hasnt got sprint speed, compare the times with the King Stands G1 sprint Frankle covered the 5 6 & 7 furlongs in 32.88sec. Little Bridge covered the 2,3,&4 furlongs in 32.79secs. Ones a ml the other 5f sprint Amazing
I wasn't alive in the era of the Brigadier but to beat an horse like Mill Reef who went on to be undefeated after losing to the Brigadier at Newmarket is some achievement and like you say to win Gr1's over all 3 major distances is unheard of these days, Sea The Stars being an exception. I was lucky enough to see Dancing Brave and I still find it hard to split both him and Frankel as the best I've seen. Dancing Brave was very special...
Being a son of Galileo you would imagine Frankel will be a huge success at stud. New Approach another son of Galileo has made a remarkable start to his stud career, 3 of his first 2 year olds lined up at Royal Ascot and they all won, and as a result he has the antepost favourite for both Guineas next year.
racecourses around the world are nearly PERFECT for running tracks in the uk/france are the MOST CHALLENGING any where. PERIOD!!! horses tht destory the field and track like frankel do are without any argument or doubt the BEST!!! Black Caviare Proved it!!...............in Australia it was a monster mare an in the one race in the uk it was NEARLY found out!! so with tht in mind frankel deserves the title THE BEST!!
It was a awesome performance from the horse and a poor ride from Tom Queally remember that. What he's done since utterly eclipses that performance and lets not forget there aren't many thoroughbreds that produce stunning upon stunning performances time after time. Frankels 2000 Guineas win would have finished most horses. Hes a once in a lifetime machine and IMO by far the best racehorse in the world at this moment in time. Hes head and shoulders
Thank God we've got Frankel over here. Can you imagine what these Aussies would be like if he was theirs? The way they've immortalised first SYT and now BC goodness knows what they'd be saying about Frankel. They have to learn that being a big fish in a small pool does not a man eater make.
true legend and champion Frankel its a shame he retired early on in his career with an unbeaten record 14 wins out of 14 starts he was a wonder horse greatest racehorse on the flat by far
FFS!! Stop slinging nasty comments over these two horses! They are both amazing in their own right, but are different racehorses...appreciate them for what they : AMAZING.
and stepping up this year as the prestigious races in Europe and espcially abroad are all over further than 5 and 6. Down under that could be debateable...
I got up early in the morning to watch this race in Australia.. Frankel looked amazing! He looks very hard to beat over the mile.. although i did see him almost lose in the St James Palace Stakes in '11. But purely due to the fact the rider went way too early. I would love to see Frankel v Black Caviar in a match race with no pacemakers/help/hinderence from any other horses.. but sadly we never will. We can just admire these magnificent animals! Go on BC this saturday!
henry died a happy man,best of his his lifetime,best o mine(so far).......wonder if we will be talking bout this like arkle in the future.......i cant see any reason not!!!!!!!!!!!
Abdullah had. Frankel is without a doubt the best hes had, Not just on his performances but overall ability. Like Peter O'Sullivan said yesterday this horse is 'Extraterrestial'
On a weekend when Galileo`s grandsons finish first and second in one of Europe`s premier classics; the 2,000 Guineas and his three daughters finish first, second and third in the female equivalent ;the 1,000 Guineas ,Gardiner and his dopey friend Mr Wth 74 are talking about some Oz gelding who won a race in Hong Kong.The level of their ignorance is truly breath taking !Galileo`s achievement this past weekend is truly ground breaking and they are consumed by their own mediocrity ! Then on Sunday, his daughter ; Found wins the Group Three in Ireland despite having to cope with unsuitable ground and is immediately made favourite for the Arc - Europe`s favourite race!All these wonderful horses by Galileo but there is still only one who deserves the title "HIS MAJESTY" and that is .................FRANKEL !!!!!!
"He's the pacemaker for FRANKEL" that one line says it all how what a SHAM this race is. Frankel is uselsss without a pacemaker. Black Caviar doesnt need a pacemaker. She is a CHAMPION on her own
Bella .. I was just reminiscing & in reading some of these comments I managed 2 laugh most of them off! But 2 u ... Please go bk n watch Frankels 2000guineas & that will hopefully put an end 2 ur stupidity...!! 😂😂🐴👍😜
@Brasenose... Excelebration tried to live with Frankel here and got absolutely annihilated, He clearly got tired at the end but trying to match sprinters sectionals with Frankel from the 3 to the 2 would kill most horses in a mile race. Not Frankel, No horse in the history of racing would have beat him this day, Hence the hefty figures. Remarkable
Watch the 14 min version of BC race, It shows the other angle, the jockey whipped her 4 times. Personally I thought BC ran a great race, in particular her smart exit from the box, the way she travelled in the early part of the race; her ease of action covering the ground and the way she sustained her gallop. Having said all this I don't believe she possesses a devasting turn of foot of the calibre found in Frankel. I am really pleased BC won and so are the British racing public.
Have you ever seen a horse just destroy the opposition like this race after race? I remember great horses like Dancing Brave and Nijinsky being preserved in their races at times and winning cosily. No such thing with this fella. He just goes out there and steamrollers them every time. Awesome animal, absolute machine.
Yeah in the world , as in right now, Black Caviars 22 records straight will be remembered 100 years from now, Frankels just be "just another good horse".
No blinds, no blinkers, no Lasix that`s Frankel ! One hundred per cent natural talent.
No medications that you know of!!
@Lisa Harris exactly!!
What a bumch of crabs he beat
@@russe19642easiest money Ive ever made. Good to soft ground. Celebration is a class horse.
He did need a pacemaker, though!
I can't undersand how you can say that about such a fantastic horse like Frankel, have you not just watched the performance he put in! in your eyes he may remain a one trick pony but to the rest of the world he is the number 1 rated horse in the world. an absolute legend. he doesn't need to travel around the world as the best races are in England not Australia

Yeah, he was never lazy when asked to quicken. He gave it all all the time.
I was just going to say the same thing. You can see his joy, you can feel it.
To: @arryharry - I can not remember which race it was but after the finish as Tom Queally had brought him to a turn-a-round and walk back, he had to pull hard on the reins as Frankel was making out to go again.
A 'freak' of a horse. Born to run.
one of the greatest performances ever seen
its insane when he suddenly excelerates and goes twice as fast as the others. he looks so strong and fit
This race still gives me goosebumps
To all you 25 thumbs down you must have backed excellebration
This performance was... absolutely Ridiculousssss! You just can't dispute his claim to the pound for pound throne after watching this.. He's Majestic in every element!
This was definately a great performance. The way he went away at the end was just awesome. You can't beat that.
How can you possibly describe this horse. He is something out of this world as someone called him today. I cannot get my head round it. Everyone is amazed.

"When he dies...." Thanks for that, Willie, just as we were all celebrating so much life!
So proud to say I was there to see that. Simply breathtaking, The best horse ever and he's only going one way from now on. Scary that he could be better over 10f
One of a kind
What a glorious horse, I hope he is very well now. Wish him always the very best.
this horse was just a perfection.... the best ever !!! Respect
Just like me, mate. Been watching racing for 30 years and even The Brave couldn't cope with this fella. We won't see a better horse in our lifetimes, no way.
A Legend there is no doubt and will not see anything like him for a very long time!

Absolutely right ! All the greats today can be traced back to Mahmoud or Hyperion too ! That includes the ones abroad too !

Frankel the Greatest Ever.
Daylight second says it all greatest horse ever beyond a doubt
Thank you so much for giving me this after race commentary. I missed it the first time around.
wow. ive tried not to be a horse racing fan for 54 years. But my resistance is waning when i see the drama and glory of this excellence. Beautiful
The best ever
Unbelievable. I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I witnessed this today.

Seen that so often, and still. WOW.
absolutely breathtaking. charisma personified
The BEST horse i have EVER seen, and i've seen plenty of them!
Greatest horse that ever lived. People will always try and argue otherwise because we've reached perfection and it's a difficult realisation that no horse will ever give the same thrill.
Look up and read my previous comments to other people's replys and questions!!!
This is the best horse I've ever seen. And I was lucky enough to see Dancing Brave and he was some monster...
Everyone at the time was the best...Frankel was one of a kind
yep he was a great race horse at his time. Sadly due to the different track conditions of those races he was really great on a few tracks, being in the top 5-6 in fastest times, but in a few tracks wasn't so good, being 20-30th placed or more.

Great video, especially the slow motion shots after he had crossed the finish in true time.
Whew, thanks so much for the update. My initial comment was a little exaggerated based on one or two bad incidents, but I am glad to hear Bullet train will have a good life too :)
No runs, no hits, NO ERRORS!!
The best ever is an understatement..
11 lengths winner. 0.6 outside the track record in good to soft ground, and it turns out he lost a shoe halfway. Amazing
Can't wait till saturday to see BC win easily then we can admire to brilliant horses.

Pretty good judge my friend to say the least!!
Timeform ratings:- Frankel 147. Black Cavier 136
Now, don't get me wrong here - BC is a fabulous horse, and in most years would stand at the top of the pile, but this year - sorry she sits a distant second.
Even Peter Moody admitted that this performance from Frankel was probably the best he'd ever seen.
I say just enjoy them both for the fabulous horses that they are.
Yeah that videos unreal mate, beautiful to watch. It'll be a bloody long time before we have something like these two again, and Frankels got what 3 races to go? BC who knows. Not long until theyre gone really and we'll miss them dearly
amazing the greatest perfomance of his career i think
in the world. Hes one of best we've ever seen...
An unbelievable horse... You could tell by the emotion in Willie Carson's voice that he knew Frankel was a once off
On Frankel.
One of the finest performances we have ever seen on a race course in my history in racing.
He is the worlds best racehorse? He is. You saw why today, I saw why today. Absoluetly a superb racehorse and I dont think I have seen the equal of that performance ever.
Not my words but Peter Moody's words being interviewed by TVN's Bruce Clark after Frankels

The best horse il ever see in my lifetime.
Frankel is the 🐐. Goat
Great tribute to the truly wonderful Frankel. Thank you. But much as I love him, I always want Bullet Train to win for once! Am a soft touch.
Bullet Train won a classic trial... I think maybe he went to the derby as a shorter price than workforce!!
@@richfairclough123 If my memory is correct, Bullet Train didn't do well in the Derby and eventually finished unplaced there.
@@myfrobert he didn't do well, but did go off at a shorter price than workforce
the best
What a beautiful animal.
Amen to that, Joy :)
racecourses around the world are nearly PERFECT for running
tracks in the uk/france are the MOST CHALLENGING any where. PERIOD!!!

staggering , i will never forget this , if i die il die happy after watching that , glad i did win by 5+ lengths for evens , now thats easy money !
my left ear is enjoying this
I agree Excelebration Is a very very good horse Which is why I can't think of what to even call frankel, what a performance.
People need to just sit back and appreciate two superior horses I say..
wow wow wow
true legend and champion Frankel its a shame he retired early on in his career
with an unbeaten record 14 wins out of 14 starts he was a wonder horse greatest racehorse on the flat by far
well said bud..totally agree wit ya
Interesting stats mate. Fascinating actually. He is clearly extra special.
FFS!! Stop slinging nasty comments over these two horses! They are both amazing in their own right, but are different racehorses...appreciate them for what they : AMAZING.
Well said, cant wait for his next race, August 1st I think.
Frankel is related to northern dancer what a champion ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm not even a racing fan but I am flabbergasted!
and stepping up this year as the prestigious races in Europe and espcially abroad are all over further than 5 and 6. Down under that could be debateable...
I got up early in the morning to watch this race in Australia.. Frankel looked amazing! He looks very hard to beat over the mile.. although i did see him almost lose in the St James Palace Stakes in '11. But purely due to the fact the rider went way too early. I would love to see Frankel v Black Caviar in a match race with no pacemakers/help/hinderence from any other horses.. but sadly we never will. We can just admire these magnificent animals! Go on BC this saturday!
henry died a happy man,best of his his lifetime,best o mine(so far).......wonder if we will be talking bout this like arkle in the future.......i cant see any reason not!!!!!!!!!!!

On a weekend when Galileo`s grandsons finish first and second in one of Europe`s premier classics; the 2,000 Guineas and his three daughters finish first, second and third in the female equivalent ;the 1,000 Guineas ,Gardiner and his dopey friend Mr Wth 74 are talking about some Oz gelding who won a race in Hong Kong.The level of their ignorance is truly breath taking !Galileo`s achievement this past weekend is truly ground breaking and they are consumed by their own mediocrity ! Then on Sunday, his daughter ; Found wins the Group Three in Ireland despite having to cope with unsuitable ground and is immediately made favourite for the Arc - Europe`s favourite race!All these wonderful horses by Galileo but there is still only one who deserves the title "HIS MAJESTY" and that is .................FRANKEL !!!!!!
"He's the pacemaker for FRANKEL" that one line says it all how what a SHAM this race is. Frankel is uselsss without a pacemaker. Black Caviar doesnt need a pacemaker. She is a CHAMPION on her own
Bella .. I was just reminiscing & in reading some of these comments I managed 2 laugh most of them off! But 2 u ... Please go bk n watch Frankels 2000guineas & that will hopefully put an end 2 ur stupidity...!! 😂😂🐴👍😜
@Brasenose... Excelebration tried to live with Frankel here and got absolutely annihilated, He clearly got tired at the end but trying to match sprinters sectionals with Frankel from the 3 to the 2 would kill most horses in a mile race. Not Frankel, No horse in the history of racing would have beat him this day, Hence the hefty figures. Remarkable

Watch the 14 min version of BC race, It shows the other angle, the jockey whipped her
4 times. Personally I thought BC ran a great race, in particular her smart exit from the
box, the way she travelled in the early part of the race; her ease of action covering the ground and the way she sustained her gallop. Having said all this I don't believe she possesses a devasting turn of foot of the calibre found in Frankel. I am really pleased BC won and so are the British racing public.
Sea Bird sure as hell didn't break any records but held the record for the highest timeform rating ever for 47 years.
Very well said and i still don't understand why people are comparing 2 horses that races in different distance's.
Have you ever seen a horse just destroy the opposition like this race after race? I remember great horses like Dancing Brave and Nijinsky being preserved in their races at times and winning cosily. No such thing with this fella. He just goes out there and steamrollers them every time. Awesome animal, absolute machine.
Frankel - Best Miler in the World
Black Caviar - Best Sprinter in the World
The Best Horses of each class on the Planet.
I must hand it to you Brits...your trainers know how to dress when greeting a god of the turf back at the winner's circle.
Yeah in the world , as in right now, Black Caviars 22 records straight will be remembered 100 years from now, Frankels just be "just another good horse".
