It takes a lot to win a Group 1 by a wide margin, but there are wide margins and then there’s the eleven lengths by which Frankel steamrollered the Queen Anne field, Excelebration - who’d never been more than five lengths in his wake in four previous encounters - paying a heavier price for daring to engage him earlier at Royal Ascot.
Such an exhilarating exhibition of galloping earned him a Timeform rating of 147, which translates as a simple statement that no horse they’ve assessed in their 75-year history would have beaten Frankel that day.
The World Thoroughbred Rankings likewise positioned Frankel at the very top of the tree, since the system was introduced in 1977, albeit after an ‘historical recalibration’ that marginally reduced the rating of Dancing Brave amongst others from the earlier years.

One of the greatest performances on a racetrack ever. Frankel was in a class of his own. Goosebumps. ❤️🐎

@@MercurialRed9 I thought Frankel in general was ridden to open up a big lead and then hold on to the finish rather than run away from them at the finish. Mill Reef is one that was running away from them at the finish.

@malcs0 4 года назад

Quite amazing. For a one mile Group 1 at Ascot, usually it's a bunch finish with the winner a length or two clear. Frankel was 12 lengths in front, and the rest of the field looked like they had participated in the Ascot Gold Cup. A seriously brilliant performance.

@humblequest7905 Год назад

Was lucky enough to be there to see this astonishing performance trackside. Takes your breath away every time you watch it!

@stu3232 4 года назад

The greatest mile performance of all time by a long way. Only other performance in history at any distance in my view that deserves comparison is Secretariats Belmont win. To open up 11 lengths on them that easily, being eased down on the line, was absolutely ridiculous. I think his Juddmonte was very close to as good as this, but for the visual factor we'll never forget this one. What a horse he was, will be over the moon if I get to see anything like him again in my lifetime.

@kevinharrison5009 4 года назад

Of course, many of the Americans didn't respect him. He never ran on any of their flat, left handed greyhound dirt tracks so that's the reason why.

@jeanmikle6297 3 года назад

What always amazed me about this race is that it took a good two furlongs to pull him up. Magnificent horse.

@connorduke4619 2 года назад

Secretariat Kentucky Derby was also rather impressive - breaking the track record by 3 lengths after breaking dead last and accelerating faster each quarter mile.

@georgemaydell2447 3 года назад

He genuinely could hold a competition amongst himself for the best performance ever seen on a racecourse. The Guineas win was quite breathtaking but this will never be beaten. A freak of a performance from an absolute freak of a racehorse. The GOAT!

@michaeldowd5545 Год назад

Guineas over rated performance. El Gran Senor Guineas was way better. Chief Singer was second, and was easily way better then any horse Frankel beat. Frankel as 4yo, a different class altogether.

@craigseddon4884 Год назад

I remember the commentary on his second race with the foreboding words of "he might just have a touch of star quality about him."

They say baaeed is the new Frankel. Has a lot to prove to be at that level . Although a exciting colt in his own right I don’t think he would have beaten Frankel . But nonetheless after Baaeed winning the Queen Anne today he is a horse I’ll be watching with interest the rest of this campaign.

@bladerunner16 4 месяца назад

@ryangardner7962 He's not the greatest racehorse because he obviously lacked stamina. If Cecil thought for a minute that Frankel would have got 1m4f, he'd have run him in the Derby or the Arc. Sea the Stars and Dancing Brave have far better Cvs.

@ryangardner7962 4 месяца назад

@bladerunner16 Not at all, not all horses run over longer distances some run over 5/6f all their career. Thay distance was his limit clearly and he dominated every horse that came near him, 11 or 12 of his 16 wins he didn't even come off the bridle. Who said that Arc De Triumph is the race that makes you the greatest?

@bladerunner16 4 месяца назад

@ryangardner7962 The two most prestigious flat races are the Derby and the Arc de triomphe. Frankel never even left England, for gods sake. He was a brilliant miler, no doubt about it, but like I said, he obviously had a slight flaw.

Let that sink in a little… Frankel would have likely broken 1:31 in that race had they been stupid enough to take him. He should have finished his career at Longchamps.

@johnwalton3743 7 месяцев назад

Frankel is the best I've ever seen and frankel is going to be the greatest sire of all time he was awesome every time he ran he just blew every opponent away with ease and Henry Cecil was right what he said that he wanted to have one more year with frankel because Henry Cecil knew that frankel would have got a mile and half and like he said that he's the best I've ever seen the best I've ever had and I doubt that you will see anything better than frankel and he's right because you look at the horses that Henry Cecil as trained over the years and for him to say that is mind blowing and he knew that had a very special horse on his hands

@ronaldmasters4031 2 года назад

Without doubt the greatest performance of any horse or mare, was in the 2000 Guineas, a top class race, he was 15 lengths clear at halfway, and kept up the strong gallop. Every performance was truly magnificent, never to be seen again 🙏🙏🙏

@michaeldowd5545 Год назад

This was 20lbs better then the Guineas. Dubawi Gold was 6l 2nd to Frankel in the Guineas. Hueston we have a problem. Probably the worst Guineas field in History. El Gran Senor beats Chief Singer in his Guineas with Rainbow Quest in 4th beaten 10l.There is no way Dubawi gold beats Rainbow Quest at any distance, on any going on any surface at any age. Watch the 1984 Guineas, The first 4 home probably better then any horse Frankel ever beat. As a 4yo Frankel is a legend. I like to see what the furlong splits were in each race.

You don't realise it at first, but now I realise the lives these horses must live, in constant fear of being whipped to go faster. What would be better for the horses, to be dog meat, or to be whipped on a regular basis, and if not whipped, a threat of violence towards them. I'm sure this sport would be much better without the whip. It's such a violent sport for these poor creatures.

@OfficialMuffiin 7 месяцев назад

Racing whips are much different than regular whips, they're very heavily padded. The number of whips allowed is also regulated and riders and penalized if they whip too much. These horses are bred to run.
