Sir Henry was at times a genius. Thank goodness that Khalid Abdullah trusted him with Frankel. After the disgraceful treatment by Sheik Mohammed, he went into a bad time but came back to train a superstar. He never bad mouthed Godophin publically and all credit to him - god knows he had enough reason. History has since proven that the aforesaid owner is a despicable and utterly ruthless person. Sir Henry was so terribly ill by the time the horse was retired, it was a sad sight to see what the ravages of cancer had done. to him; always so dapper and polite. I loved him to bits, he was so special and trained one of my favorites Bosra Sham - gorgeous chestnut filly. The best day for me was his comeback Oaks win with Light Shift. RIP lovely man.

The roar from the crowd as Frankel looms up at the two pole still gives me goosebumps. The Greatest.

R.I.P. Henry Cecil & Prince Khalid Bin Abdullah. Both made huge contributions to English racing.

Sir Henry deserved Frankel. What a combination. Never be forgotten.

Just phenomenal! You have to realise that Nathaniel is a world class racehorse and as good as an average winner of this race as he prefers an extra 2 furlongs. But Cirrus Des Aigles, that's a f*cking Champion. A horse as good as Cracksman, and a horse who performed at least as well as him in his two demolition jobs of the same G1 race. Well just look how Frankel cruised up powerfully to Nathaniel, and past him onto Cirrus Des Aigles.. Then STILL on the steel, goes past him and delivers a final surge in ground he hates to win the race well. Its absolutely one of his greatest performances, even if people expected a greater visual burst of acceleration - but please just admire what he accomplished getting out late, running on ground he hates and the unbelievable way he cruised up to multiple G1 Champions. He was a horse blessed, and touched by The Creator in ways we may never see again. An outstanding racehorse, and the absolute gold standard of equine racing greatness.

2023 and he’s still the greatest, what a horse he was!

I think Tom Queally only ever hit Frankel twice in it's career, absolutely astounding racehorse. The best ever.

Finally an ever-winning horse that survives to the point of getting to stud.

I watched this horse work out on warren hill I walked back to my car thinking. Ridiculous Talent !!!!!!

sent by the angels for a man.who was dying so sad but so great his name is etched with one of the greatest race horses ever such a great end to the horses career n a man's life they shud make a movie one day

I can only echo the comments below - 9 years ago now but I still watch this once a week - "Every once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, God sends us a Fairy-tale and our lives are enriched"

Frankel; A horse that had so much hype b4 the race but actually exceeded the hype after race.

Great call! Great horse!

That puts a shiver down my spine and all the better that henry cecil trained him an absolute genius i remember steve cauthen when he was the number 1 jockey for him they did what adien obrien is doing now frankel is just a freak of nature when he won the 2000 gunieas when the commentator says hes 15 lenthgs clear that will stay with me forvever

Yes. Firstly, I guess they think their races on dirt is what horse racing should truly be. And, TBH, many of those top European horses (including Frankel himself) are not without the influence or the legacy of Northern Dancer, which belongs to the US and Canada and, in some Yank's view, eventually shows the true superiority of American horse racing.

I worked in racing 40 yrs hes def the best 10f miler ive seen dayjur best sprinter mill reef best 12f horse my personal view....

Yes, the greatest, even though he had a slow start, his class showed at the end against a class field of horses.

Great horse, but I stood at the finish line of the 86 arc and I tell you that was the greatest race won by the greatest horse.Dancing Brave was the greatest over a mile and a half, had Pat Eddery been on him for the derby I have no doubt he would have won

john wedgbury 7 or 8 lbs is nonsense. He was better on testing tracks but it assumes Frankel was less effective on a testing track. He won his maiden on soft going, incidentally beating Nathaniel. Given he was undefeated how do you assume it was in CDA’s favour?

I surely do but what make him so special is the fact that Henry said he the best horse he ever trained so when you look at all his Derby wins slip anchor reference point commander in chief and oath Frankel must have been something out of this world not to mention all his other classic horses. The question on everybody lips would be would we see anything like him again. The answer to this I very much doubt it.

We will never see another as good as this machine, What a story with the Amazing Sir Henry Cecil as his trainer in his final years, They will make a film for sure.
