Title: Frankel
Post by: Bigredgoer on July 27, 2011, 07:32:18 PM
One of the most impressive turf performances I have ever seen...I know short field, but Canford Cliffs is pretty impressive in his own right..I hope we get a chance to see them in Kentucky in November, along with Goldikova.
Sir Henry Cecil declared Frankel to be the greatest horse he had ever set eyes on after his colt turned the clash with Canford Cliffs into an almost hopeless mis-match in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood.

Just watched the replay. Man was he carrying flesh. Looked like Schwarzenegger in his prime! I was less than impressed with Frankel at Royal Ascot. I\'m thinking he reacted and still won that day. Different animal today.

He was also getting 8 pounds. And CC may have been a bit off after beating Goldi some weeks back. But, yeah. Impressive. Couple more races like that the colt will start thinking people should be naming things after HIM!

Frankel being put away after one more race, no BC according to present news.Very easy trip, brilliant acceleration though.He\'s probably \"slow\" like most Euro.

Miff. Hopefully the \"one more race\" is the Arc. You crack me up. You are the king of the chit disturbers!

No Arc for Frankel. Either the QE2 at Ascot in October or the Juddmonte Int\'l (10F) at York on August 17. He may race as a 4YO.
