That includes his unbeaten 14 victories when racing but, also, his incredible success as a stallion and the sire of many outstanding racehorses. In fact, at the time of writing (14th February 2024) he has 18 offspring who have total earnings over £1M, which is impressive to say the least. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Such has been his success that not only have a number of his colts won over £1M (some have won £3M) but a select few have retired from racing and now stallions in their own right, the next generation of Frankel.

Renowned for his unparalleled racing career, he transitioned seamlessly into a prolific stud career, siring an impressive number of foals that carry on his exceptional genes. In this article, we delve into the intriguing question: just how many foals could Frankel sire in his lifetime?</span><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">1) Racing Legacy:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel's journey from the racetrack to the breeding shed is nothing short of remarkable. Undefeated in all 14 of his races, he retired in 2012 as one of the greatest racehorses of all time. His stellar racing career set the stage for a breeding career that would be eagerly followed by enthusiasts worldwide.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">2) Stud Career Commencement:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel began his stud career at Banstead Manor Stud in Newmarket, United Kingdom, in 2013. With an initial book of mares carefully selected to complement his pedigree, he embarked on a new chapter of creating champions. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">3) Reproductive Potential:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">One key factor in estimating the number of foals a stallion can sire is its reproductive potential. Frankel's exceptional fertility, coupled with the advanced veterinary techniques available in the industry, enhances the likelihood of a substantial number of successful matings. High fertility ensures that a stallion can cover a significant number of mares each breeding season. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">4) Breeding Seasons and Constraints:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Stallions typically have limited breeding seasons, usually spanning from February to July in the Northern Hemisphere. The number of foals a stallion can sire in his lifetime depends on the duration of his breeding career, the number of mares covered each season, and the length of the reproductive lifespan. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">5) Global Appeal:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel's global appeal adds another dimension to the potential number of foals he could sire. His reputation draws interest from breeders worldwide, leading to a diverse and extensive pool of broodmares. This international demand further elevates the number of foals with the potential to inherit Frankel's exceptional traits.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">6) Estimating the Number of Foals:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">While it's challenging to predict the exact number of foals Frankel could sire in his lifetime, we can make an estimation based on industry standards. With an average of around 150 mares covered per breeding season, and assuming a conservative 80% success rate, Frankel could potentially produce around 100 foals per year. Considering a successful breeding career spanning 15 years, Frankel's legacy might include an impressive 1,500 foals or more.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Conclusion: </span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel's legacy extends far beyond the racetrack, and his influence on the Thoroughbred gene pool is immeasurable. As he continues to sire champions and make his mark on the world of horse racing, enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the unfolding story of how many foals will carry on his legendary bloodline. With his racing prowess and remarkable stud career, Frankel has undeniably secured his place as one of the most influential stallions in the history of horse breeding.

His explosive bursts of acceleration during races showcased a level of athleticism rarely witnessed in the world of horse racing.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Versatility:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel displayed versatility by excelling over various distances, from sprints to middle-distance races. His ability to adapt to different race conditions demonstrated a rare blend of speed and stamina, a characteristic often associated with the greatest racehorses.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Quality of Competition:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel faced and conquered top-class competition throughout his career, defeating other champions in the process.

His offspring have displayed promise, and if they continue to perform well, it would further solidify his legacy as one of the greatest sires in history.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Why Frankel Might Not Be the Best:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Limited International Campaign:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Some critics argue that Frankel's greatness is slightly diminished by the fact that he raced primarily in the United Kingdom. A more extensive international campaign, competing against top horses from around the world, could have strengthened his case as the best ever.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Short Career Duration:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel's racing career was relatively short-lived compared to some other legendary horses. While his unbeaten streak is impressive, some argue that sustained excellence over a more extended period is a key factor in determining the greatest of all time.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">No Challenge in Triple Crown Races:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel did not participate in any of the prestigious Triple Crown races (Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes). Some critics believe that winning these iconic races is crucial for a horse to be considered the best ever.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Subjectivity in Comparisons:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Comparing racehorses across different eras is inherently subjective. The conditions, training methods, and competition evolve, making it challenging to definitively say whether one horse is better than another from a different era.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Conclusion:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">In the realm of horse racing, determining the greatest of all time is a subjective and often impassioned debate. Frankel's case for being the best is bolstered by his impeccable record, versatility, and influence on breeding. However, critics point to factors such as a limited international campaign and a relatively short career as reasons why he may fall short of the title. Ultimately, whether Frankel is the best horse ever depends on personal opinions and preferences, making the debate a captivating aspect of the sport's rich history.</span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636390833198117343.post-24137897455964422742023-11-25T11:26:00.000-08:002023-11-25T11:26:55.939-08:00Frankel: The Making of a Racing Legend<span style="font-family: helvetica;">In the world of thoroughbred horse racing, few names resonate as profoundly as Frankel.

The majestic thoroughbred is considered by many as one of the greatest racehorses to ever grace the sport. The unbeaten stallion achieved a level of excellence that few horses have been able to replicate, with an impressive record of 14 wins from 14 starts. Frankel’s success on the track was just the beginning of his story, as he has since gone on to make an even greater impact as a stallion. In this article, we will take a closer look at Frankel's career as a racehorse and stallion, and try to project his worth in the future. </span><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b>Frankel's Racing Career</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel was foaled on February 11, 2008, at Juddmonte Farms in England. He was sired by the renowned stallion Galileo, and his dam was Kind, a former winner of the Group 3 Lupe Stakes. From the very beginning, it was clear that Frankel had a special talent. He made his debut in August 2010 at Newmarket and won by half a length. He followed that up with a win in the Group 2 Royal Lodge Stakes, and then the Dewhurst Stakes, which is one of the most prestigious races for two-year-olds.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel's three-year-old season was arguably his most impressive. He won four Group 1 races in a row, including the 2000 Guineas, the St James's Palace Stakes, the Sussex Stakes, and the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. In each race, Frankel was utterly dominant, winning by multiple lengths and breaking course records.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel retired from racing in October 2012, with a perfect record of 14 wins from 14 starts. He was immediately retired to stud, where he has gone on to become a hugely successful stallion.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b>Frankel's Success as a Stallion</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel's success as a racehorse was impressive, but his career as a stallion has been nothing short of remarkable. He has sired a number of successful horses, including Cracksman, who won the Champion Stakes at Ascot in 2017, and Soul Stirring, who won the Yushun Himba (Japanese Oaks) in 2017. Frankel's offspring have also been highly sought after at auctions, with some selling for millions of pounds.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">According to reports, Frankel's stud fee is currently around £350,000 per mare, making him one of the most expensive stallions in the world. It's estimated that he has sired around 360 foals to date, and his progeny have earned over £30 million (approximately $41 million) in prize money.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b>Projected Worth</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Given Frankel's impressive record as a stallion, it's difficult to put a price on his worth. However, some estimates suggest that he could be worth as much as £200 million (approximately $275 million) over the course of his lifetime. This would make him one of the most valuable horses in history.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">There are a number of factors that contribute to Frankel's potential worth. Firstly, his stud fee is likely to remain high, as breeders continue to seek out his exceptional bloodline. Secondly, his progeny are likely to continue performing well on the track, which will only increase their value as breeding stock. Finally, there is the possibility that Frankel could be sold at some point in the future, which could fetch a huge sum of money for his current owners.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b>Conclusion </b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel is undoubtedly one of the greatest horses of all time, both as a racehorse and a stallion. His unbeaten record on the track is a testament to his exceptional talent.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Photo: Gencraft </span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636390833198117343.post-87536047261453017142023-10-01T07:57:00.000-07:002023-10-22T13:14:04.571-07:00The Most Successful Offspring of Racehorse Sire Frankel <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">1111/11111/11111/<br /><br />Happy birthday to the legend Frankel 💚💖 <a href="https://t.co/xkywi9X2sv">pic.twitter.com/xkywi9X2sv</a></p>— Racing Post (@RacingPost) <a href="https://twitter.com/RacingPost/status/1624343484353384448?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 11, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel is widely regarded as one of the greatest racehorses of all time, and his success on the track has also translated into success in the breeding shed.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see this strapping bay colt winning at Pattern class this season. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This May colt started his career with an easy victory at Salisbury when racing over 6f. Given a fine ride by Rhys Clutterbuck, the even money favourite cruised to a 3 1/4 length victory over Kingswood Flyer. There was a lot to like about that display. Also, it was interesting that Task Force started such a short price which was significant. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Task Force made his second start at Ripon in the Champion Two-Year-Old Trophy Stakes (Listed race) with a winning price of £22,408. Ridden by Rossa Ryan, this 11/8 favourite looked all at sea on the undulations but finish with spirit to hold stablemate Matters Most, who is held in some regard by connections. Task Force kept on well to win by a length and a quarter. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Beckett said: ''</span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><i>We like the second (Matters Most), he appears to be improving, and TASK FORCE was green on the undulations but he still got it done. So that's encouraging. We won't be afraid to roll the dice. He had to be pretty good to do that today as I'm not sure that's his ground either. He's in the Middle Park and I wouldn't be convinced about seven furlongs for the time being, we might stick at six. trainer.</i>''</span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636390833198117343.post-43068695100694859562023-07-18T09:47:00.000-07:002023-07-18T09:47:10.175-07:00Frankel Offspring 2023 - Stars Of The Future<p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimmEP9m12PjbytpXlkl0jkjndUSgEk4ifCP6gj4m2KXbd6F2K42nGhxvXEn-g-1jhYKFt_CrIDYmkhBiqQwxvv7r0hKqfDx-h_ZS00Tb_hVUX_OucsOBhETJRVy1ai667hFWc_xcuX79mDzCnyN_fMDlc0b_2-FhP24qT0Einm6epL7RWFpBZGUv4/s16/favicon-image.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="16" data-original-width="16" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimmEP9m12PjbytpXlkl0jkjndUSgEk4ifCP6gj4m2KXbd6F2K42nGhxvXEn-g-1jhYKFt_CrIDYmkhBiqQwxvv7r0hKqfDx-h_ZS00Tb_hVUX_OucsOBhETJRVy1ai667hFWc_xcuX79mDzCnyN_fMDlc0b_2-FhP24qT0Einm6epL7RWFpBZGUv4/w200-h200/favicon-image.png" width="200" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">It's that time again when we start to wonder about the new Flat turf season 2023 and Frankel offspring. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">If you head over to Juddmonte's website and Frankel sire you will be able to get your first glimpse of the Frankel two-year-olds (2yos) for the season coming.

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">On a thrilling day at Haydock Park, the Pat Hodgson and Mary Shields Acsil Novice Stakes (GBB Race) took center stage. </span><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The highly anticipated 3:50 race showcased the finest young horses in the industry, but it was Charlie Appleby-trained <b>By The Book</b>, sired by the legendary stallion Frankel, who stole the spotlight with a magnificent victory.</span><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">By The Book, a two-year-old colt trained by the highly respected Charlie Appleby, had already been attracting attention in racing circles. With Frankel, a two-time Cartier Horse of the Year and one of the greatest racehorses in history, as his sire, expectations were high for By The Book's debut performance.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Under the guidance of jockey James Doyle, By The Book entered the race as one of the favorites. The young colt displayed exceptional speed and agility, quickly asserting himself among the front-runners. Maintaining a steady pace throughout the race, By The Book showcased the remarkable traits inherited from his champion sire.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">As the race progressed, By The Book showed remarkable resilience, remaining in a prominent position. Approaching the final furlong, the atmosphere at Haydock Park reached a crescendo. By The Book surged ahead, leaving his competitors in his wake, displaying a burst of acceleration that left racegoers anticipating more to come.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Under the watchful eye of Charlie Appleby, By The Book crossed the finish line with undeniable authority, securing an emphatic victory. Cheers erupted from the grandstands as racing enthusiasts witnessed the birth of a potential star.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The triumph of By The Book added to Charlie Appleby's reputation as one of the industry's finest trainers. The horse's victory showcased Appleby's expertise in nurturing young talent and his ability to bring out the best in his charges.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Jockey James Doyle was effusive in his praise for By The Book's performance, describing the colt as a "tremendous athlete" with a bright future ahead. Doyle's skillful handling of the horse contributed significantly to their victory, solidifying his position as one of the premier jockeys in the sport.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The influence of Frankel, the incomparable stallion, was evident in By The Book's victory. As a son of Frankel, By The Book carries the legacy of his sire's exceptional racing career. Frankel's genes continue to produce outstanding progeny, ensuring his lasting impact on the world of horse racing.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">By The Book's victory will be remembered as a significant moment in the young colt's burgeoning career. With the combination of Charlie Appleby's training prowess and the genetic prowess of Frankel, By The Book is undoubtedly a horse to watch in the future.</span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636390833198117343.post-75290505935226320492023-05-30T00:55:00.017-07:002023-05-30T01:10:37.648-07:00Frankel Offspring 2023: State Of Desire Debut at Great Yarmouth <p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMvIUGWrYlTWz7rnMt9Hq1bEFtBBHTgcN0F11XGIOXAoP-lCf3gTXb1Zly5NIZTJNr6EA9l-kst89_tK7HLQ6KwfUAfEfCL_g-YCdJASzzckGYVtAzCeGjk8HMXW8HpELFwVgcAYJ1IuVfmP1F_Ek89xo5BMwHdAVadW73mOzFxjVlkOGkx0ZNqsA/s640/State%20Of%20Desire%20Charlie%20Appleby%20Frankel%20colt.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Frankel colt State Of Desire trained by Charlie Appleby" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMvIUGWrYlTWz7rnMt9Hq1bEFtBBHTgcN0F11XGIOXAoP-lCf3gTXb1Zly5NIZTJNr6EA9l-kst89_tK7HLQ6KwfUAfEfCL_g-YCdJASzzckGYVtAzCeGjk8HMXW8HpELFwVgcAYJ1IuVfmP1F_Ek89xo5BMwHdAVadW73mOzFxjVlkOGkx0ZNqsA/w300-h400/State%20Of%20Desire%20Charlie%20Appleby%20Frankel%20colt.jpg" width="300" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">It's always good to get back to Great Yarmouth. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">A stone's throw from Newmarket means there will be plenty of thoroughbred talent on offer and that was no exception when we ventured to the course on the 24th May. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Travelling via train from my hometown of March, changing at Ely and Norwich, it took a couple of hours to get to this coastal town which resides in Norfolk. I do enjoy a day at Yarmouth whether for all the tourist attractions or a day at the races. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Well, there was a merry pilgrimage of me, two brothers, and pro gambler Jerry Banks and his friend, Mark. To be fair it was more of a day out than betting but there is always a few bets placed from one and all. Tony, my brother, had a no-lose bet to win a grand on Phoenix Duchess (3:40), while Jerry had a nice winner in the first race. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Anyway, I will get back to that in a moment. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">We started our day walking from the train station to the Feathers Pub which is always good with cheap beers and an upbeat atmosphere. From there we headed to the course by taxi. The price of ticket for the Members enclosure is £28. It really is bordering on criminal. We got the Racing Day deal by purchasing our tickets in advance, which entitled a free alcoholic drink and pie. That is a fair deal, at least takes the edge off it. I think they have about 50 of those going if you buy your ticket a couple of weeks in advance. I think Jerry said later fixtures had already sold out!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The weather was fair and the main attraction for us were the two juvenile races (2yos for the uniformed) and especially interesting with a Class 2 & 3 event on the cards. I'm not sure if this was an extra fixture, but I can't remember a Class two contest for two-year-olds ever being held here before. There were some nice prospects who headed to the coast for more than an ice cream and battered cod. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">One of the main attractions for me was the Frankel-sired <b>State Of Desire</b>, trained by Charlie Appleby, ridden by William Buick. This well-bred bay colt, who cost 400,000G, was pretty strong in the betting, starting at 5/6f. Racing over 6f on good to firm going, I did have slight concerns the trip would be on the sharp side and that turned out to be true with a respectable third place behind Watch My Tracer (George Scott) and El Bodon (Jane Chapple-Hyam). The winner was backed from big odds and has some potential and the second went well and I imagine connections were surprised they didn't win. State Of Desire ran well on debut but looks to need 7f to be seen at best. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu8IDws5f85s_qqJ_8ZBpdN--A-HGsG6T2nE_0qU7sHaDMmx5C8HzkIx9cAWDfOWyEcWq7yYY4PZg3Ts_WQQUEIIYNY9daDkxl8HzuMh5TVtAD-u8capUMHOtYsxX2r68aCl7ptTELXGX5_iO0mqM5GUkC3KZzTP-qibITKVNPCE2YV0MBeKJWi30/s1338/Born%20To%20Rock%20wins%20at%20Yarmouth2.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Born To Rock trained by Jane Chapple-Hyam and owned by Laurence Holder" border="0" data-original-height="1338" data-original-width="1210" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu8IDws5f85s_qqJ_8ZBpdN--A-HGsG6T2nE_0qU7sHaDMmx5C8HzkIx9cAWDfOWyEcWq7yYY4PZg3Ts_WQQUEIIYNY9daDkxl8HzuMh5TVtAD-u8capUMHOtYsxX2r68aCl7ptTELXGX5_iO0mqM5GUkC3KZzTP-qibITKVNPCE2YV0MBeKJWi30/w289-h320/Born%20To%20Rock%20wins%20at%20Yarmouth2.jpg" width="289" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The Class 2 race (3:40) saw a field of 12 two-year-olds and it was a spectacle to see Jane Chapple-Hyam's <b>Born To Rock</b>, ridden by Robert Tart, in the ownership of Laurence Holder, cruise home 'easily' (looked impressive) by four-and-a-quarter lengths, from the Gosden-trained Jiwin (Gosden asked Havlin if it needed 6f). </span><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The winning filly, a daughter of Soldier's Call out of a poor mare was a 17,000 (Euro) yearling purchase, bought by Holder's bloodstock agent, Amanda Skiffington, as a 2yo breeze-up for 110,000g. A truly inspired purchase as this filly is a beautiful specimen (as seen in this photo) and heads to Royal Ascot for the Queen Mary Stakes (Group 2). I wouldn't be surprised to see her win. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Bookies offered 10/1. Holder must have been overjoyed as it was a sparkling performance and basically won in a canter, which is no mean feat in a Class 2 with win prize money of £15,462. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Lots to enjoy on the day and we stayed the night at the Charlton Hotel, popping into the Grosvenor Casino for a drink and play on the roulette (I lost, brother won). After a walk along the front, went back to our rooms about midnight. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">A long but enjoyable day. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The next morning we had breakfast at the Ocean Hotel, on the front, and had eggs royale before getting on the train and back home. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Photos: Top, State Of Desire, Bottom, Born To Rock. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Copyright 2023 Jason Coote (All rights reserved) </span></p></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636390833198117343.post-51433725744209202502023-03-10T00:50:00.001-08:002023-03-10T00:50:00.184-08:00Is Frankel The Best racehorse to have ever lived?<span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJJTH-zBQrfPzABm-6PTg7_Q9ySmZlRowvG5nGvXklEuoniyF-7basH3Lkdje_RR0hbZYU5KIdGAA-OKfLcfNxIX-Lx2HEUkzCkkDOMfiLfY4mmLRadUZhYRIVvzhpbjFtXgMa4OxcgB7tkFrZqVqbO2ul8zyy55qbb6ICXy9j2xlfehjmKsGQNuw/s350/FRANKEL%20ORANGE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="222" data-original-width="350" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJJTH-zBQrfPzABm-6PTg7_Q9ySmZlRowvG5nGvXklEuoniyF-7basH3Lkdje_RR0hbZYU5KIdGAA-OKfLcfNxIX-Lx2HEUkzCkkDOMfiLfY4mmLRadUZhYRIVvzhpbjFtXgMa4OxcgB7tkFrZqVqbO2ul8zyy55qbb6ICXy9j2xlfehjmKsGQNuw/s320/FRANKEL%20ORANGE.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>When it comes to horse racing, there have been many great horses throughout history. However, few can compare to the legendary Frankel. Born in 2008 in Great Britain, Frankel quickly became one of the most dominant horses in the sport, winning all 14 of his races in a career that spanned from 2010 to 2012. But is he truly the best racehorse to have ever lived? Let’s explore this question in more detail.</span><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">First, it’s important to understand what sets Frankel apart from other great horses. For starters, he was unbeatable during his racing career. He won all of his races, including 10 Group 1 races, which is a record that no other horse has ever achieved. He also set track records and won by impressive margins, sometimes by as much as 10 lengths. This dominance is one of the reasons why many consider Frankel to be the best racehorse of all time.</span><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Another factor that contributes to Frankel’s greatness is the level of competition he faced. He raced against some of the best horses in the world during his career, including other Group 1 winners such as Canford Cliffs, Excelebration, and Cirrus des Aigles. Despite this tough competition, Frankel was able to win every race he entered, which is a testament to his incredible talent and ability.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel also had an impressive pedigree, which is important in the horse racing world. His sire, Galileo, is one of the most successful stallions in the sport, and his dam, Kind, was a Group 3 winner herself. This strong bloodline likely contributed to Frankel’s incredible athleticism and natural ability on the racetrack.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Of course, there are other horses that could also be considered for the title of “best racehorse ever.” One of the most famous is Secretariat, who won the Triple Crown in 1973 and set multiple records that still stand today. Like Frankel, Secretariat was known for his incredible speed and dominance on the racetrack. He also faced tough competition during his career, defeating other notable horses such as Sham and Forego.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Another horse that could be considered for the title is Phar Lap, a legendary Australian racehorse who won 37 of his 51 races during the 1920s and 1930s. Despite his small size, Phar Lap was known for his incredible speed and stamina, and he was able to win races over long distances. He also faced tough competition during his career, including other great horses like Amounis and Nightmarch.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">So, is Frankel the best racehorse to have ever lived? It’s hard to say definitively, as there are so many factors to consider. However, based on his unbeatable record, impressive level of competition, and strong pedigree, he certainly deserves to be in the conversation. Of course, opinions on this topic will always be subjective, and each horse racing fan will have their own favorite. But one thing is for sure: Frankel’s dominance on the racetrack will be remembered for generations to come.</span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636390833198117343.post-79388190498620475862023-02-21T04:48:00.006-08:002023-08-29T00:13:21.389-07:00How To Enjoy A Night Out In Las Vegas<span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlpvRAynilPzdIlyv9GYuKAGjVkr0fyjn3ya1k8PN09UzdKtrxZOWHWkQD9I4B2LT-nfyU_IV_AcfSMzYOQbBPt2KOxweKx13JG5JdlLkudJ44O24lC2nmsLQbXw6YRGgNeHtXfOqQErHRM7eLUB6DMCZPCV2duM82OCBI7nMBTArtfbeVmQvNg9BhHA/s1280/cave%20diver%20pix.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlpvRAynilPzdIlyv9GYuKAGjVkr0fyjn3ya1k8PN09UzdKtrxZOWHWkQD9I4B2LT-nfyU_IV_AcfSMzYOQbBPt2KOxweKx13JG5JdlLkudJ44O24lC2nmsLQbXw6YRGgNeHtXfOqQErHRM7eLUB6DMCZPCV2duM82OCBI7nMBTArtfbeVmQvNg9BhHA/s320/cave%20diver%20pix.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Las Vegas is known for its vibrant nightlife, offering a wide range of entertainment options for visitors to enjoy.

Frankel was trained by Sir Henry Cecil and is considered one of the greatest racehorses of all time. He won all fourteen of his races, including ten Group 1 races, and was awarded the highest ever Timeform rating of 140.</span><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Since his retirement from racing, <a href="https://stallions.juddmonte.com/stallion/frankel/two-year-olds" target="_blank">Frankel's stud fee</a> has steadily increased year on year, making him one of the most expensive stallions in the world. In his first year at stud in 2013, Frankel's fee was £125,000, which was already considered a high fee for a first season stallion. However, in the following years, his fee has continued to rise and is now £275,000. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">There are several reasons for this increase in Frankel's stud fee. Firstly, Frankel has been incredibly successful as a stallion, with his progeny achieving great success on the racecourse. This success has not only increased the demand for his services, but it has also proven the quality of his genetics, which has in turn further increased his value as a stallion.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Another factor contributing to Frankel's increasing fee is his popularity among breeders and the general public. Frankel has a large fan base who follow his progeny and are eager to breed their own Frankel foals. This popularity, combined with his success on the track, has helped to create a demand for Frankel that has driven up his fee.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The quality of Frankel's progeny is also a major factor in his rising fee. Many of his offspring have gone on to be successful racehorses themselves, winning Group races and adding to Frankel's reputation as a top-class stallion. This success has been a key factor in increasing his value and attracting breeders from all over the world.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Additionally, the competition among breeders for Frankel's services has also driven up his fee. With a limited number of mares able to be covered by Frankel each year, breeders are willing to pay high fees to secure a place for their mares. This has resulted in a bidding war for Frankel's services, which has further increased his fee.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Despite the high cost, many breeders are willing to pay the high fee for Frankel due to the potential rewards that come with breeding a Frankel foal. These foals can fetch high prices at sales, and a successful Frankel offspring can bring great returns to their owners and breeders.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">In conclusion, Frankel's increasing stud fee since he began his stallion career in 2013 is due to a combination of factors, including his success as a racehorse, his popularity among breeders and the general public, the success of his progeny, and the competition for his services. Despite the high cost, Frankel remains in high demand, and many breeders are willing to pay the fee in the hope of breeding a successful Frankel foal. With his reputation as one of the greatest racehorses of all time and his ongoing success as a stallion, Frankel is likely to continue to be a sought after stallion in the years to come.</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636390833198117343.post-86544256619456986112023-01-04T13:17:00.001-08:002023-02-11T02:54:28.303-08:00How much Money did Frankel cost as a Yearling?<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Kirsten Rausing's <a href="https://twitter.com/Lanwades?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Lanwades</a> homebred Alpinista (FRANKEL) wins the Listed Daisy Warwick Stakes <a href="https://twitter.com/Goodwood_Races?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Goodwood_Races</a>.

<p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">How much money did Frankel cost as a yearling?</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel didn't have a cost because he was home bred by Juddmonte Farms Ltd, in the ownership of Khalid bin Abdullah Al Saud. Sadly the Prince passed away on the 12th January 2021. His association with top-class thoroughbreds including Frankel, Enable and Dancing Brave detail a truly successful owner breeder of the highest repute. I've also taken my time to review a few casino platforms and </span><a href="https://www.bestunitedstatescasinos.com/" style="font-family: helvetica;" target="_blank">online casinos usa</a><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> have a great setup and worthy of your time and recommended. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">So Frankel was never sent to the sales as a foal, yearling or two-year-old. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The mare of Frankel named Kind is the mother of a number of very talented thoroughbreds including: Frankel, Noble Mission, Bullet Train, Joyeuse and Morpheus. I don't know about ponies but I do love </span><a href="https://www.acepokies.com/" style="font-family: helvetica;" target="_blank">real money online pokies</a><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> for something a bit different. Always good to see what other gambling platforms have to offer and I really do advise taking a break and getting stuck in. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel is sired by the legendary Galileo who was sire of Noble Mission, a full-brother to Frankel. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Both are sires standing at Banstead Manor Stud, Newmarket. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel has a stud fee of £200,000 (2022), from £175,000, this was raised from an initial £125,000 in 2018. Frankel has been standing at stud since 2013. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">After continued success his stallion fee is now £275,000.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Exceptional. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Of his progeny a number of horses have proved very successful including:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b>Frankel's Top 5 Offspring Earners</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://www.racingpost.com/profile/horse/1167751/cracksman/form" rel="nofollow">Cracksman</a> who was trained by John Gosden, winning 8 of his 11 races and achieving total prize earnings of £2,793,064.

<p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The Best Frankel 2yo In Training 2022. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel, super sire, has been hitting the headlines and proving he is a world-class horse on and off the racecourse. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Who could forget the 2022 Qatar Prix de I'arc de Triomphe (Group 1) at Longchamp, France with Frankel-sired <b>Alpinista</b>, trained by Sir Mark Prescott, ridden by Luke Morris, in the ownership of Miss K. Rausing to win prize money £2,400,840.34 (£2M+). What a supreme achievement for UK racing. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I can remember Alpinista winning on debut as a two-year-old at Epsom when 9/4. She won unchallenged that day. Who would have thought at the age of five she would have raced 15 times, with 10 wins, 2 second placed efforts. Not to mention total prize earnings over £3M. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://www.racingpost.com/results/211/longchamp/2022-10-02/812831" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>See the Full Result Here</b></a>. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Talking of two-year-old racing we can't escape the influence of Frankel. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Andrew Balding's <b><a href="https://www.frankelblog.com/2022/07/frankel-2yo-chaldean-wins-at-newbury.html" target="_blank">Chaldean</a></b> has been in flying form all season after needing his debut at Newbury (5th) has tasted victory in his next four starts concluding a battling effort when victorious in the Darley Dewhurst Stakes (Group 1) at Newmarket. Frankie Dettori gave this son of Frankel a fine ride to beat Royal Scotsman by a head. A brilliant sight racing in the ownership of Juddmonte (Frankel silks). </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://www.racingpost.com/results/38/newmarket/2022-10-08/817913" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>See the Full Result Here</b></a>. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This chestnut colt has other noted achievements this formative season including victories at pattern class taking the <a href="https://www.frankelblog.com/2022/08/son-of-frankel-chaldean-wins.html" target="_blank">Tattersalls Acomb Stakes</a> (Group 3) at York & Coral Champagne Stakes (Group 2) at Doncaster. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Andrew Balding, trainer, said: </span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><i>We thought <b>CHALDEAN</b> was very good in early spring and into the summer but he got beaten first time out. Since then he has gone on and on. He had been out in front a long time and Frankie felt he kicked a little earlier than ideal but it was probably a race-winning move. He is versatile and he didn't have to make it but it didn't look like there was any obvious pace here. What we didn't want was it to turn into a sprint and for us to be out of our ground. He will be fine (in a Guineas) and the bigger the field the better off he will be. He is all speed on his dam side out of a Dutch Art mare and I'd be surprised if he got further than a mile. I don't know yet if we run him in a trial first, we'll see how he is training in the spring and make a decision there. I would be comfortable going straight to the Guineas but I can't be making that decision at the moment. </i></span><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Chaldean is presently 6/1 for the English 2000 Guineas, 2023, to be held at Newmarket, Saturday 6th 3 pm.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">My one regret is not seeing Frankel race in his amazing career. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">However, to capture Frankel's true story in beautiful prose it's a delight to mention Simon Cooper's book release. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7QZuk4HUOsLiyfH2fc2RQYyYwWzaaxYhrIue_o_CjhBNpobVDfi_7sbIXOK0YVrcCyPSanhsY2hYYmVtcLBNUKh8PKLEY4tzcSAccQPwOV5wVtQJVit4h0Nte9X45RQJG20I4Q0Zq1RGenG9eC5vnYIT7RAEYtfUgwGIaHhNkU74mxz29MQ0pExA/s1151/frankel%20simon%20cooper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1151" data-original-width="750" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7QZuk4HUOsLiyfH2fc2RQYyYwWzaaxYhrIue_o_CjhBNpobVDfi_7sbIXOK0YVrcCyPSanhsY2hYYmVtcLBNUKh8PKLEY4tzcSAccQPwOV5wVtQJVit4h0Nte9X45RQJG20I4Q0Zq1RGenG9eC5vnYIT7RAEYtfUgwGIaHhNkU74mxz29MQ0pExA/w261-h400/frankel%20simon%20cooper.jpg" width="261" /></a></div>This year is of particular importance to Frankel fans because it is the 10th anniversary of Frankel's final race - 14th which saw </span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">him retire to stud unbeaten and regarded by many as the greatest racehorse ever. And the link? Fishing Breaks' director and owner Simon Cooper wrote a knowledgeable and fascinating book about <b><i>Frankel - Frankel, The Greatest Racehorse of All Time and the Sport That Made Him</i>.</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div style="text-align: center;"><b>You can celebrate the 10th anniversary of famous racehorse Frankel by reading Simon Cooper's Frankel: The Greatest Racehorse of All Time and the Sport That Made Him </b></div></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot on 15 October marks the 10th anniversary of the fourteenth and final race of legendary racehorse Frankel, which saw him retire to stud unbeaten, regarded by many as the greatest racehorse to ever live. Author and founding director of Fishing Breaks in the Test Valley, Hampshire, who grew up around the racing world and spent the early part of his working career around horse-racing, wrote the highly acclaimed Frankel: The Greatest Racehorse of All Time and the Sport That Made Him which earned him a place in the shortlist for the Daily Telegraph Sport Book Awards in 2021. This is a great book to read in celebration of the 10th anniversary and to learn more about this remarkable racehorse. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Over a three year career Frankel took all before him, not just the best of a very good generation but winning races by margins that left hardened race watchers speechless. He did not beat the opposition, he crushed them. But it was not always easy. Frankel was headstrong and difficult to train, his trainer Henry Cecil, after some years in the wilderness, returning to old glories with this amazing horse despite his personal battle with cancer which was to eventually overwhelm him soon after Frankel's last race. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">During the course of his work Simon Cooper was given exclusive access behind-the-scenes to the racing empire of Prince Abdulla, the owner and breeder of Frankel, with racing interests that cover the globe. To research the book Cooper followed in the footsteps of Frankel for over a year - from the stud in Ireland where he was conceived, then to Newmarket where he was born, then back to Ireland where he was raised before returning to Newmarket and the stables of Henry Cecil where he was trained. He then visited all the racecourses at which Frankel ran and talked with the many people closely associated with Frankel's career. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Cooper has regularly met with Frankel at Banstead Manor in Suffolk where he now stands as stud and where he has sired many hundreds of offspring, many of whom have been immensely successful on the racecourse, making Frankel one of the most sought after stallions in the world, with a covering fee of £200,000. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Frankel: The Greatest Racehorse of All Time and the Sport That Made Him was published by William Collins and is available in hardback and paperback from all good bookshops and online. It makes for a fascinating read for everyone, not just horse or racing enthusiasts. It's also an ideal gift or an interesting Book Club read! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b>Praise for Frankel: The Greatest Racehorse of All Time and the Sport That Made Him</b> ‘An imaginative retelling of the legendary story … Cooper paints a complete picture of Frankel, charting his meteoric rise from the first years of his life through to his glorious send-off when winning the Champion Stakes at Ascot … transporting the reader with his vivid descriptions … While he is undoubtedly the star of the show, this book is about so much more than just Frankel … Thanks to Cooper, and his dedication to colouring the blanks in this famous story, we can now know Frankel a little better too' Racing Post

<p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Did Frankel win the Epsom Derby?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The simple answer is no. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Sir Henry Cecil's colt went on to be unbeaten in 14 starts over three seasons from 2010 - 2012. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">In my opinion his greatest performance was seen in the 2000 Guineas, which took place at Newmarket's Rowley Mile. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Cecil considered running <a href="https://www.frankelblog.com/p/frankels.html">Frankel</a> in the Epsom Derby, probably knowing it would be the ultimate victory of an exceptional horse. He made the decision to stick to one mile with the exception of his final two starts when stepping up to 1m 2 1/2f when pulverising the opposition at York by seven lengths. If you want a change of seen from horse racing take a look at </span><a href="https://www.stellarspins.com/en/" style="font-family: helvetica; text-align: center;" target="_blank">aussie online casino</a><span style="font-family: helvetica; text-align: center;"> and enjoy some action. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">His victory in the Juddmonte International Stakes (Group 1) as he was priced 1/10f. Race comments: ''Went clear one furlong out, impressive.''</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankel_(horse)" rel="nofollow">Frankel</a> concluded his racing career at Ascot when winning the Champion Stakes which is raced over 1m 2f. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Perhaps one of the bravest decisions made by Sir Henry Cecil was not being tempted to run Frankel in the Epsom Derby and chancing whether he would have sufficient stamina to last 1m 4f. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">It would have been the colt's ultimate test. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Would he have won the Epsom Derby? </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I wouldn't even like to answer that question because, in truth, I don't feel qualified or opinionated to do so. However, I do have something which may pique your interest with </span><a href="https://www.lecasinoenligne.co/" style="font-family: helvetica; text-align: center;" target="_blank">casino en ligne en france</a><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> for a truly exciting experience. Always so much fun to get involve. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">You have to consider that the decision to race or not in the Derby was taken long and hard and connections simply didn't want to take the chance of a loss. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">In hindsight, it was most probably the right decision. To finish his racing career unbeaten there is always the mystique of thinking what was possible. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">He did the impossible but he could have possibly done more. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Perhaps he could well have won the Epsom Derby. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">We can only imagine.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2011/may/03/frankel-the-derby-henry-cecil" rel="nofollow">Related story: Ducking the Epsom Derby no disgrace for 2,000 Guineas winner Frankel</a></span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636390833198117343.post-52060651692185487472022-08-20T06:35:00.010-07:002022-11-23T05:13:43.703-08:00Frankness Flies Home At Chester (20th August) <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Impressive!
