The test of many a great sportsperson or team is to win outside their comfort zone.

KA doesn't need it and they won't mess Frankel about to run in a circus race, he needs to step up and win at 10f for when it's time in the barn.

After all, we've seen him 10 times already, and he's been running in top notch races most of the time.
