I know Goodwood is a quick track but Queally couldn't pull him up so I think he'll stay too.

What I really hope happens is that Queally gets to work 3f out, Hughes comes cruising up all arrogant like he did last year, shakes Canford up then Frankel turns on the gas and leaves him 5 lengths trailing.


Sweet, should've done a spread bet! If he settles like that and is allowed to bowl along in front quickening all the time he would get 10f and would annihiliate So You Think or any turn of foot horse. They cannot compete with the gradual pace build up.

What a horse, what a miler. Machine.... Took about 2 furlongs to pull him up.

hold on sts has achieved far more mate if you are just ging on pure talent then fair enough but if you base it on what they have both achieved on the track sts is way ahead right now wining g1s at 1m 1m2 1m4 2 classsics and an arc to boot

I agree with PJR, Frankel is so far the 2nd best horse I've ever seen behind STS, Frankel is an astonishing Animal which has pure galloping speed and for a Galileo that is mightily impressive but for me STS done the ultimate in winning 2 classics over 1m & 1m4f and a mightily impressive Arc which was one of the strongest in recent history (Youmzain, Conduit, Dar Re Me, Stacelita, Vision D'Etat, Fame And Glory etc).

There will always be a debate over which was better but from my point of view I have enjoyed/will enjoy every minute of watching both of these superior animals for the memories and the amount these memories are worth! Instead of comparing and degrading these supreme animals let's just enjoy them while we still can and be telling our grandkids about 2 of the greatest animals that ever lived and not banging on about which one was better!

Great race but do you think that if Canford didn't run across the track and the weight difference that he gave Frankel the result would have been any different, for me I don't think so. Sea The Stars is the best horse I have seen on the flat EVER!! Frankel is the best MILER I have seen EVER!! 1 legend and 1 in the making.
