    Frankel is widely regarded as the greatest racehorse in recent history, isn’t he?

    Not saying he wasn’t a great horse, but his reputation + fame would have been much further enhanced if he had traveled, to France + Ireland + MeyDan + to the Breeders Cup, or if he had enough stamina to take part in the most competitive, valuable + prestigious races i.e the Derby + the Arc

    Different scenario Befair, he is in a racing continent where he beat what are considered a very high level of horse, unlike Winx. He also had Cirrus Des Aigles who travelled to challenge him and couldn’t beat him either.

    Admirable alright.

    Would be great to see her race against proper horses sometime though.

    The great mare has her final start on Saturday (at 06:05 UK time for any Sky Sports Racing viewers); surely it’ll be her 33rd consecutive victory.

    Leaving aside the debate about the quality of the opposition she has faced during her winning streak, the fact that she has returned to do battle time and again, and emerged victorious, deserves praise.

    I’ll certainly be raising a tinny or two to her.

    Her final race was somewhat ruined by the Aussie commentator screeching as she crossed the line about her as ‘the greatest of all time’.

    Utter nonsense. Frankel would’ve beaten her whilst laughing his head off even giving her 4lbs.
