Not sure if this was the plan ... then again they are horses.

A freaking superstar!

Whaddaya think, Miff? Does this one have some gas?

[Dana666]

In his other race this year, he loped along early and exploded the last furlong. This race, however, is something from another planet. They don\'t often win that like over there, especially on straight courses! Do you have any idea how hard it is to wire a straight mile like that?! Amazing to me is also how spread out the field was. I\'m glad they named a great horse after Bobby! Wouldn\'t have been right any other way. Wonder what his future book is right now for the Breeder\'s Cup Mile or Turf???

That was awesome.  He was 25+ lengths clear of the 4th place horse.

Dana, what parts did luck and randomness play in Frankel\'s latest performance?

(Equal parts skepticism, sarcasm and seriousness in that question, I admit.)

Frankel a freak, will come here,ahem, slow and whistle against the underwhealiming US turf runners(see Goldikova)

Frankel vs Goldikova vs Black Caviar in the BC Mile

Race of the Century, IMO.   The Breeders Cup people should be jacking up the purses for this race to make it happen.

[sighthound]

Black Caviar by a half length over Frankel by two over Goldikova

IF he is as good as we think he is, the mere fact that he even exists is a black swan. That the DNA of his parents could produce a runner like him is very random indeed!
