Tom hit the right note in this interview regarding what it feels like to be part of something that special and was suitably humble about his own contribution. Endearing.
Most of us will never again witness a horse of the calibre of Frankel, he is probably a once in a lifetime phenomenon. I have followed horseracing since 1961 and the only horses who can compare with Frankel are Sea Bird II and Arkle. I know that I shall never see the equal of Frankel, a truly incredible racehorse.
My Favorite horse from America was Ghostzapper, and to this day is one of only 3 horses in the last 10 years that would make Frankel work hard... The fact that he'd put Zenyatta in the same breath as him is unbelievable. I'm glad you mentioned that now about Zenyatta, as I have a whole lot of ammo to fire back at him!
zapper was to me one of the most underrated horses ever and from frankels 2 yr old season i said that he reminded me of zapper.although frankel has surpassed frankel they both to me had that high cruising speed and just seemed to make all of their races look easy.i have told black caviar fans to watch zappers vosburgh win and he showed there that he could have went down as one of the greatetest sprinters ever if that was the path they chose.
joe viner I said almost word for word what you said about Frankel on another clip, like you he is the best horse I have every seen and only Sea Bird would compare to him. The great Max Miller used to say have a good look because when I am gone you will never see another. Being a gambling man I would say it's big odds me seeing another horse as good as Frankel before I kick the bucket.
St Nicholas Abbey won the breeders cup in very good fashion and Frankel beat him on the bridle you can list all the races you want if he went to the arc he would destroy them all also on his debut he beat nathaniel who has won major races
We all know that Australian horses are just second-rate handicappers, and the highlight of the Australian racing season is a handicap ,the poxy Melbourne Cup. Says it all, doesn' it?
Christy Dolan yeah they specialise in sprints because the ground in Australia is fast, here in england it is a lot slower. When AU horses come here they get turned over because of the ground (black caviar fir example).
There is no question in my mind that this is one of the greatest talents of all-time. The one shame is that people like Ballydoyle have gone running from him and they haven't pitched in their so-called best like Camelot and So You Think and they think an awful lot of St Nic Abbey so for Frankel to dismiss him with contempt 7L on the bridle must have frightened them. Frankel could win at 1m 4f IMO but the Arc is an absolute shit of a race that is draw biased- we dont want or need it.
If the 2000 Guineas, The Juddmonte International, Queen Anne etc aren't real races to you, then you can't know that much about European racing. He's entered in the champion stakes. That's a massive race on our calendar. But yet again you move the goalposts because for some unknown reason you've taken a dislike to the horse. It's not as if he's beating mules like Zenyatta was. He's beating top class horses and beating them by massive margins.
dont even pay him any mind this was the same guy when zenyatta was running in restricted races against fillies he was calling her the greatest of all time.frankel could come here and win the bcc and im sure hed find something wrong with him in that race.if people by now are still complaining and trying to discredit frankel theres nothing he can do to convince them.the funny thing is zenyatta wouldnt have gotten within 10L of frankel if they ever met on the track and he knows this too.
With regards to @FUCKUflylion132 's utterly laughable comment-Frankel beat Excelebration by 11 lengths. Wise Dan beat him by what, about 4? Wise Dan is a very talented horse, but he wouldn't be fit to shine Frankel's shoes as it were. Frankel=the best
Frankel = G-A-R-B-A-G-E That schlub that ran second to Frankel (multiple times) just had his ass handed to him in the Breeders Cup (compliments of Wise Dan)
Can't beat real group 1 horses? Oh dear. The horses Frankel has beaten have won 244 races between them and 45 GROUP ONES. Frankel is te greatest we've seen. Run him in the champion stakes he'll hack up, run him in the Arc he'll destroy them. Wherever he runs we should be thankful that connections kept him in training a 4 year old so we can enjoy him instead of whining about him not being sent abroad. Wonder horse
He could win at 12f and it still wouldn't matter to you. You'd pick holes int his horse no matter what. Is it because Amercica hasn't produced a horse for years that could get within 5 lengths of him?
you have missed my point pal , i have seen every race its a fantastic horse probable the best there ever be , it races fantastic , i don't think it ever really needed a pacemaker i just would like to see it run without its pacemaker to shut all the idiots up who say it needs one when it dosent
st nicholas abbey didnt win at breeders cup then and a few other group 1s nor twice over n i think hes only horse 2 ever beat excellabration not connections fault everything swerves him
It's truly amazing how a human being can think and speak with his arsehole inside his brain, but apparently duhru4real has managed to achieve this remarkable feat . You'll have noticed that I didn't say ' think and speak with any semblance of what most people consider rational and intelligent processes. Which quite obviously this throwback certainly does not possess.
ok so in a slight way i agree with you and you give me shit , everyone knows there's still things that need to be proven to grant him greatness , such as running without a pace maker , so tell me are you saying this is not a fantastic horse even do you don't believe its the best ? if dont think its a great horse and in the top horses of all time you truly no NOTHING about racing
why don't you just shut up slating Frankel and just enjoy a racehorse that is ONE of the best there's been that's what people are saying one of the best , yes he is fantastic he has a few things left to prove but not many
nathaniel beat snow fairy,,and frankel hammered nathaniel..so frankel should be there,,and none of these horses are rated better,,and thats by the professionals,,so i take your views with a pinch of salt.

Well done Henry Cecil, Tom Queally and Frankel.
Still to this day I feel honoured and privileged to be there that week
Awesome performance from Frankel. If its possible, he seems to still be improving.After the Juddmonte he looked like a fresh horse - amazing.
When you're beating genuine multiple Gr1 winners by 10ls on the bridle it shows you a real horse.
My Favorite horse from America was Ghostzapper, and to this day is one of only 3 horses in the last 10 years that would make Frankel work hard...

Frankel kept sir Henry alive

The luckiest jockey on the planet and every stride part of the Frankel story.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

MrStripYourGirl 14/14, 147, unbeaten, group 1, exceptional
How will he do in the Cox Plate? thoughts?
You don't think much of Frankel. Fair enough. Are you by any chance Australian?
u not seen frankel in the guineas m8 had them cooked after 2f making his own pace
Yes there has.... Zenyatta.
We all know that Australian horses are just second-rate handicappers, and the highlight of the Australian racing season is a handicap ,the poxy Melbourne Cup. Says it all, doesn' it?
Christy Dolan yeah they specialise in sprints because the ground in Australia is fast, here in england it is a lot slower. When AU horses come here they get turned over because of the ground (black caviar fir example).
Not really no, just trying to get him to pull up 😂😂😂😂😂
hahaaha just been told you thought Zenyatta was the best ever! hahahahahaha
There is no question in my mind that this is one of the greatest talents of all-time.

usain bolt must be shite then,,he can only run short distances.
It's not your horse. What do you care.
frankel was unbeaten from 6 furlongs to 1 mile 2 furlongs,,so what horse are you talking about on short distances.
why don't you just shut up slating Frankel and just enjoy a racehorse that is ONE of the best there's been that's what people are saying one of the best , yes he is fantastic he has a few things left to prove but not many
