Whoever it was who commented on my Frankel picture, thanks very much and you’re welcome to use it.
Am I alone in thinking the Canford/Frankel debate to be a mile wide of the mark? I mean no matter how off form Canford was supposed to be (And he clearly wasn’t that out of sorts anyway.)he was soundly thrashed. Aren’t some people missing the fact that Queally barely let his horse down? If he’d have raced properly you could have added several lengths to the winning distance for sure. Frankel is unbeaten in eight starts and I’ve yet to see him truly come off the bridle. When the mighty Sir Henry Cecil declares he’s the best he’s ever seen there’s no longer an argument IMO
Hi chaps,
I’m new to the forum. My name is Chris and I live in Newmarket, around a mile from Warren Place.
I’ve been following Frankel’s progress with some interest. For my money he’s probably the best miler we’ve ever seen. And it is fantastic that Sir Henry has him. There honestly isn’t a kinder fellow in racing. A true gentleman and again, for my money, the best flat trainer of all time.
Regarding today’s race, well I’d have thought Canford Cliff’s supporters were counting their money for much of the race. He sat in a perfect position on Frankel’s shoulder, and if he were a good enough horse he’d have won the race. He didn’t, the terrific four year old was well beaten, destroyed in fact, by a three year old. That’s some feat at the best of times, a three year old taking on the older horses, but when the older horse in question happens to be the fantastic Canford Cliffs you have to think it weas little short of an epic performance from Frankel I think.
I hope nobody minds me expressing an opinion as a newcomer.
I went down to the start at the Rowley Mile earlier in the year to watch Frankel going in and coming out of the stalls. THere are a few pictures on my Flickr site here if anyone is interested:
