@@MercurialRed9 I thought Frankel in general was ridden to open up a big lead and then hold on to the finish rather than run away from them at the finish. Mill Reef is one that was running away from them at the finish.
The greatest mile performance of all time by a long way. Only other performance in history at any distance in my view that deserves comparison is Secretariats Belmont win. To open up 11 lengths on them that easily, being eased down on the line, was absolutely ridiculous. I think his Juddmonte was very close to as good as this, but for the visual factor we'll never forget this one. What a horse he was, will be over the moon if I get to see anything like him again in my lifetime.
Secretariat Kentucky Derby was also rather impressive - breaking the track record by 3 lengths after breaking dead last and accelerating faster each quarter mile.
Just imagine, on this day, Frankel beats Secretariat, El Gran Senor and Hawk Wing 5 lengths minimum Frankel - Timeform 147 El Gran Senor - 136 Hawk Wing - 136 Secretariat - 130-135 (over 1mile)
Quite amazing. For a one mile Group 1 at Ascot, usually it's a bunch finish with the winner a length or two clear. Frankel was 12 lengths in front, and the rest of the field looked like they had participated in the Ascot Gold Cup. A seriously brilliant performance.
Ever wonder why he never raced in the biggest races in the UK such as the English Derby and the King George? Ever wonder why he never raced in the biggest races in the world such as The Arc, Japan Cup, Dubai World Cup and Breeders Cup? He never did because his trainer admitted that he could not win them.
@oot007 Half of the races you mentioned are 1 1/2 miles and he never raced over more than 10f. Ridiculous comment. Also the King George is a Group 2 race.
What an incredible sight, imagine being there and witnessing this in person. Frankel was one of the greatest ever horses. Really beautiful to watch, such an amazing animal.
He genuinely could hold a competition amongst himself for the best performance ever seen on a racecourse. The Guineas win was quite breathtaking but this will never be beaten. A freak of a performance from an absolute freak of a racehorse. The GOAT!
Guineas over rated performance. El Gran Senor Guineas was way better. Chief Singer was second, and was easily way better then any horse Frankel beat. Frankel as 4yo, a different class altogether.

@@georgemaydell2447 Secretariat’s Belmont Stakes has to be the greatest performance ever, especially because it was the third leg of the TC. The TC is grueling. He broke the world record that day, and 50+ years later, he still holds the world record. Secretariat was in a different league than Frankel because he set multiple track records at different racecourses and could do it on any surface. Turf, dirt, it didn’t matter. I say this and Secretariat isn’t my favorite racehorse.
That’s nonsense though because he wasn’t a middle distance horse. That’s like saying Bolt isn’t the greatest runner ever because he didn’t win the 1500m
@@georgemaydell2447 Secretariat also broke a track record at a mile as a 3 year old. It was his only race at a mile. He was very fast at every distance. Probably is the greatest ever because I don’t think any horse was able to break track and world records on both turf and dirt at so many different distances and racecourses as him. And definitely not as a 3 year old like he did. Some of those records still haven’t been broken.
Beautiful....just beautiful!!! I work in the industry and until the day the Good Lord takes me I will clearly remember where I was when it was announced that Sir Henry Cecil had passed away. I can honestly say I was open mouthed when I heard the news. The man was a gentleman and a genius....the like of which the racing game will never see again.
The best horse? Frankel never raced in the biggest races in the UK such as the English Derby and the King George Frankel never raced in the biggest races in the world such as The Arc, Japan Cup, Dubai World Cup and Breeders Cup. He never did because his trainer admitted that he could not win them.
I've watched this race numerous times and am in awe of Frankel. I'm so glad that such a wonderful horse was trained by Sir Henry before he departed from this world. ❤️

I don't know if there will be another as good as Frankel, but his 2 year old Daughter ( Bedtime Story) is special, look out for her next year, potential 1000 guineas winner, and one and a quarter mile races .
The words of the late, great Peter Bromley about Shergar in the Derby are appropriate for this performance 'You need a telescope to see the rest!' Frankel was incredible.
Saw frankel win the juddmonte at york the first and only horse i think that was paraded before and after a race unbelievable horse. And met the great sir henry i offered him my congratulations he just politely nodded with a doth of his hat my friend said why dont you get a picture taken with him no hes in his aura after that performance
Excelebration has to be one of the best value stallions around. Without the freak superstar Frankel he would have been a champion. He was beaten multiple times by Frankel, but still In this race he really tried to put it up to him and was ultimately broken by the best racing performance I have personally ever seen.
Without doubt the greatest performance of any horse or mare, was in the 2000 Guineas, a top class race, he was 15 lengths clear at halfway, and kept up the strong gallop. Every performance was truly magnificent, never to be seen again 🙏🙏🙏
This was 20lbs better then the Guineas. Dubawi Gold was 6l 2nd to Frankel in the Guineas. Hueston we have a problem. Probably the worst Guineas field in History. El Gran Senor beats Chief Singer in his Guineas with Rainbow Quest in 4th beaten 10l.There is no way Dubawi gold beats Rainbow Quest at any distance, on any going on any surface at any age. Watch the 1984 Guineas, The first 4 home probably better then any horse Frankel ever beat. As a 4yo Frankel is a legend. I like to see what the furlong splits were in each race.
@ryangardner7962 He's not the greatest racehorse because he obviously lacked stamina. If Cecil thought for a minute that Frankel would have got 1m4f, he'd have run him in the Derby or the Arc. Sea the Stars and Dancing Brave have far better Cvs.
@bladerunner16 Not at all, not all horses run over longer distances some run over 5/6f all their career. Thay distance was his limit clearly and he dominated every horse that came near him, 11 or 12 of his 16 wins he didn't even come off the bridle. Who said that Arc De Triumph is the race that makes you the greatest?
@ryangardner7962 The two most prestigious flat races are the Derby and the Arc de triomphe. Frankel never even left England, for gods sake. He was a brilliant miler, no doubt about it, but like I said, he obviously had a slight flaw.
They say baaeed is the new Frankel. Has a lot to prove to be at that level . Although a exciting colt in his own right I don’t think he would have beaten Frankel . But nonetheless after Baaeed winning the Queen Anne today he is a horse I’ll be watching with interest the rest of this campaign.
People often forget that Excellerbration, after being beaten 11L in this race went to the BC Turf Mile and ran a game 4th beaten 2L by Wise Dan running 1.31.78, with a run up of course. Let that sink in a little… Frankel would have likely broken 1:31 in that race had they been stupid enough to take him. He should have finished his career at Longchamps.
Frankel had Group 1 5f/6f cruising speed that he was able to maintain over 7f/8f. That’s basically it. You can’t argue otherwise, he cruised into every race on the bridle while every other jockey was at work trying to keep up, usually 10 lengths behind, and that’s before Tom said go. No one will ever know how good he was because nothing existed at the time that could hold a candle to him, globe trotting super start soft ground specialist Des Aigles did a fine job getting within a bus length but he was on his ground against a horse going 2 or 3f further than his best trip out of his ground and still got beat comfortably so what else can we say.
Why does Tom Queally not get rides on top animals these days ? even when all these big festivals / meetings are on Tom's got one ride at Lingfield. Lady Cecil dropped him like a hot brick too, what's the story ?
I love to watch horse race on tv! I love horses they are loveable; caring; warmth; i detest Animal Cruelty Animals Have Rights Also i am watching it October 2024?😢😮😮😮
Unreal. Felt sorry for the horse in second. His legs were going ten to the dozen & yet Frankel just pulled further & further away. Best performance since Bustino ran out of pacemakers against Grundy & had to hit the front 5f from home.
Frankel is the best I've ever seen and frankel is going to be the greatest sire of all time he was awesome every time he ran he just blew every opponent away with ease and Henry Cecil was right what he said that he wanted to have one more year with frankel because Henry Cecil knew that frankel would have got a mile and half and like he said that he's the best I've ever seen the best I've ever had and I doubt that you will see anything better than frankel and he's right because you look at the horses that Henry Cecil as trained over the years and for him to say that is mind blowing and he knew that had a very special horse on his hands
There was no need to exert the horse like that tho to win by 12 lengths! Just a couple lengths would have done the job! Prob didn’t need to whip or shake reigns at all!
That was very very special but maybe the 2000 G's was his best ever win. Just because it was insane and not the way any jock should ever attempt to ride a race, unless you have a horse like Frankel under you. I doubt he would have been beaten from 6 to 10f by anything. The best I've ever seen
There was only one group1 winner in that 2,000 Guineas,it was one of the poorest Guineas ever,and I would probably think those horses he beat again there were the same horse as were in the Guineas.
I like how the commentator says at the start that Bullet Train needs some persuading to go in, I'm not surprised haha, imagine if your a racehorse and having to share a horsebox with Frankel after he's beaten you by about 30 lengths
You don't realise it at first, but now I realise the lives these horses must live, in constant fear of being whipped to go faster. What would be better for the horses, to be dog meat, or to be whipped on a regular basis, and if not whipped, a threat of violence towards them. I'm sure this sport would be much better without the whip. It's such a violent sport for these poor creatures.
Racing whips are much different than regular whips, they're very heavily padded. The number of whips allowed is also regulated and riders and penalized if they whip too much. These horses are bred to run.
All the shitty comments about frankel beating nothing ye should really do yere homework before commenting. In Aiden O Briens words he said i would have a 6 time group 1 winner if Frankel wasint around. He also beat a french horse in his last race who won a group one in newmarket against a field that had 3 group 1 winners 🤷♂️ He also ran in bad and good ground. The best 1 mile horse ever plain and simple.
By beating who? Premier loco and bullet train? Winning a guineas in an average time where no horse he beat ever won a race again? How many international wins did he have? How many 1m4f wins did he have? Are you serious?
His best win was the Judmonte international 1m2f ... it proved Frankel could not be beaten over any distance ... had he run in the Derby he would have won easily, same in the Arc and so on ... best flat horse ever ... can you imagine him running against Black Caviar and Winx ... he would have destroyed both of them without breaking a sweat

Easy when you face mugs
Very reminiscent of his dad Galileo in the way he would pull away from the field even as he crossed the finish post.

Was lucky enough to be there to see this astonishing performance trackside. Takes your breath away every time you watch it!

Of course, many of the Americans didn't respect him.
He never ran on any of their flat, left handed greyhound dirt tracks so that's the reason why.
What always amazed me about this race is that it took a good two furlongs to pull him up. Magnificent horse.
Secretariat Kentucky Derby was also rather impressive - breaking the track record by 3 lengths after breaking dead last and accelerating faster each quarter mile.
Hawk Wing 2003 Lockinge win is the greatest performance I've seen
Just imagine, on this day, Frankel beats Secretariat, El Gran Senor and Hawk Wing 5 lengths minimum
Frankel - Timeform 147
El Gran Senor - 136
Hawk Wing - 136
Secretariat - 130-135 (over 1mile)
Quite amazing. For a one mile Group 1 at Ascot, usually it's a bunch finish with the winner a length or two clear. Frankel was 12 lengths in front, and the rest of the field looked like they had participated in the Ascot Gold Cup. A seriously brilliant performance.
Look at his race time. Many horses have run faster miles before and after Frankel.
Greatest horse I think I’ll ever see! To have been trained by Sir Henry puts the cherry on top! Wonder horse and an absolute Gent of a trainer
Totally agree about Frankel and I concur with your views about Sir Henry. "Gent of a trainer"!
Sir Henry lived for the horses.

frankel was ,is n will always b the best racehorse that hv ever born n race i would b very happy if we got a horse like him here in mauritius
Sorry....who did he beat?
A lot of top multiple group 1 winners over his career.

What. A. Horse. Wow.
His best win was the Judmonte international 1m2f ... it proved Frankel could not be beaten over any distance ... had he run in the Derby he would have won easily, same in the Arc and so on ... best flat horse ever ... can you imagine him running against Black Caviar and Winx ... he would have destroyed both of them without breaking a sweat
That move is like is that of secretariat
Frankel made exceptional horses look mediocre when he raced against them. Best I’ve even seen and don’t think I’ll ever see better
Alongside Secretariat's Belmont that's the greatest performance ever
