Frankel's greatest performance? Juddmonte International memories
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- The Sir Henry Cecil-trained Frankel had won all 12 of his career starts before he stepped up to 10 furlongs for the first time in the 2012 renewal of the Juddmonte International.
Already an eight-time Group One winner by this point, the son of Galileo was sent off the 1/10 favourite for the nine-runner event, which featured multiple Group One winner St Nicholas Abbey and subsequent dual Group One hero Farhh, along with defending champion and Frankel's stable companion Twice Over.
What followed was simply poetry on a racecourse. Under regular pilot Tom Queally, the pair breezed into the lead at the two-furlong pole, producing a dazzling turn of foot to put the race to bed in a matter of strides. The winning margin was seven lengths.
In this documentary, we hear from Lord Grimthorpe, former racing manager to the late Prince Khalid Abdullah, Sir Henry Cecil's great friend William Haggas and York Racecourse's Chief Executive William Derby

This horse is an absolute legend, he will always be a favourite for so many people! ❤
@@Martin.Lewis.Racing.Channel alright Martin give it a rest, I’m sure you’d be saying different if it was an O’Brien nag 🤣 frankel will go down in history, every run of his was stellar. Dissing him doesn’t make you special or make you more of a fan of racing…
Best eever. SSeen
@@Martin.Lewis.Racing.Channel right Martin I’ve already told you to leave off, go pester someone else. Just because you don’t think frankel isn’t the best doesn’t mean you can harp on about it to us, it doesn’t make you look like a more experienced fan it just makes you look a bit like a twat shoving it in everyone’s faces like this 🤣
@@henrietta9394 Except when he nearly got beat in the St James' Palace, would have been beaten in a few more yards. Zoffany was the best he faced, but was Zoffany top class?
Que hermosa escultura hicieron en honor del gran caballo ganador, !!Franquel!!
Hermosas memorias de él corriendo y ganando en las carreras.
Saludos a la gente bonita de allá! 🇬🇧
Desde México! 🇲🇽
Glad I got to see frankel , best horse I’ve seen , great trainer was Henry Cecil 🙏🏻👑
The fact that arguably his 2 best performances were this and the 2000 guineas show how extraordinary he was. Absolutely blasting off over a mile vs completely switching off and mowing them all down over 10f. Didn't matter, destroyed them all the same...
12 years ago now we were there. Fantastic day, Fantastic horse, fantastic trainer and fantastic crowd. Thanks Frankel.
I suspect this is the distance he would have excelled at if given more opportunities
Even more so than at a mile.
In the Champion he missed the start and the heavy ground made it hard work
At 10f on good ground he would have shown his absolute brilliance over and over again
Imagine a movie on sir Henry
His 11 length Queen Anne win was the greatest performance ever…..
This was not an ordinary field - St Nicks Abbey and Farhh were both horses rated in the mid to late 120's. This, in my opinion, is as good as any performance in the history of the sport - to travel up on the bridle like that against that sort of opposition is stunning and ran all the way through the line. The best ever, of that, I have no doubt and we can only hope to see one as good as him again in our lifetime.
@@Martin.Lewis.Racing.Channel haha are you sure? SNA a yak too I guess?
@@Martin.Lewis.Racing.Channel Suppose Cirrus Des Agles is a yak too? How about Nathaniel on debut? Or an 11 length trouncing of Excelebration in the Queen Anne
@@craigtrott7193wasting your time with this guy. It wasn’t trained by AOB so he will try and put him down .
@@craigtrott7193SNA was a crock and not the same horse anymore, the ratings for SNA and Farh were those horses in their prime. Be honest Frankel beat has-beens like Cirrus and SNA, he could only just beat an in form horse like Nathaniel by a length. The rest were mugs.
@@Martin.Lewis.Racing.Channel24 different group 1 winners who won a total of 59 group 1s between them all destroyed by Frankel. FACT.
He got 10-1/2F here in the Juddmonte International Stakes without breaking a sweat, scarcely ever off the bridal that day on the Knavesmire. He was just as impressive over the 10F in the Champion Stakes at Ascot on very soft ground where the track had a lot of rain in the lead up to the race. On that day Frankel defeated arguably as good of a soft ground horse as there was in Europe at the time in Cirrus Des Aigles, and did it easily despite having dwelt and was last leaving the starting gate. Perhaps he might've been more vulnerable to defeat at 12F had he ever been afforded the chance to contest the trip than he ever was racing at a mile, 10F, or 10-1/2F, but given the ease he saw out the distances at York in the Juddmonte International Stakes and at Ascot in the Champion Stakes, there's no way you can convince me Frankel wouldn't have gotten 12F. Hell, who knows, his constitution might've been such that you could've thrown him into the Ascot Gold Cup field over 2-1/2 miles and him won it pulling away in a cantor.
Surely was, since Frankel was racing at a longer distance for the first time, effectively without his pacemaker, with a slow start, and against a bunch of stronger foes, but still won.
كم اتمنئ ان يرجع هاذا الشعار بكؤوس كبيره. مثل فرانكل. واورقيت. وانيبل.
بالتوفيق مزرعة جود منت

Lose both jobs ? How on earth did you get the job with the Prince in the 1st place. What a job to have WOW! It took Prince Kalid Abdullah 40 years to finally make the perfect equine YET HH Aga Khan couldn't in 120 years or so. Incredible!!
