what a waste of a race today,,,,if i was the course director at gw i would have reopened the race and if there was less than 6 runners i would have cancelled it, as it was it was a no contest!!!he may as well have had an exercise gallop before racing!! fantastic horse ! pointless race today!

And do you honestly think trainers would have been queuing up to see Frankel break the hearts of their horses the way he has done to all others that took him on previously?
Maybe you could name some specific horses rather than just make the general point because I'm not saying that in a stroppy way but I'm struggling to find any names myself.

The horse is great but we don't want to be asking questions how great at the end of his career by not going to the states and showing the world how special he is.

States absolutely not going to happen nor will not going there leave any questions - joke racing. Slim chance of Arc depending on how things go at York.

19 left in the Juddmonte including Frankel and x2 possible Cecil pacemakers and x7 for Coolmore. Of the remainder the only credible opposition is Cirrus Des Aigles and Nathaniel and SNA of the O`Brien horses. Will the last three named all turn up, I doubt it, will none of them turn up, possibly. Overall I would predict a very small field and another roll over for Frankel.

It's about the total test that the States would provide.The travelling the crowds and the heat.Dancing Brave couldn't do it and they were saying the same thing i.e the yanks horses were useless.Lets not forget the huge purses on offer as well.The horse is fantastic but surely you have to take up a different challenge.

Dancing Brave had a bad journey over, was dehydrated in the heat that year when the race was run in soaring temperatures, was hit in the eye by a piece of flying turf and was also found with dirt in his mouth and throat after the race from presumably the same incident.
The Breeders' Cup comes at the end of our season and Dancing Brave had already run 6 times before that and had been on the go from the Craven meeting in April to the Arc in October.

My point is exactly that.ffs the aussies brought BC over and a darn sight longer journey than frankel would have to travel and won.Transport is a lot better now and I'm sure he would win but he has to be tested.

Yeah fair enough gents and apologies as I left out the Derby when thinking back and totting up the horse's wins.....I backed it in the Derby too funnily enough so maybe it was a mental block.
