In all reality, he put Nathaniel to bed in the end. Toyed with a pretty decent horse. Thought he’d do better than he has done as a sire so far though, maybe as he did, they improve a bit with age or the next crop. Frankel however, still the best Miler I ever seen on grass no doubt.

Gamble of the race Nathaniel. I wonder what connections of Nathaniel thought when frankel came along side 🤣🤣

Frankel and Nathaniel (2nd) raced on debut, goin’ full circle Nathaniel raced Frankel on his final G1 win the Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot comin’ 3rd beaten 4 1/4 lengths, great story🐴🔥

Frankel and Henry WHAT A HORSE WHAT A MAN JUST CLASS

What a maiden , nathaniel and genius beast , both group 1 winners in their own right , quealy just let his hand off the choke for a few seconds , what a horse 👌

Nathaniel, a very good horse. But so was Farhh, Canford Cliffs, St Nicholas Abbey and Cirrus Des Aigles. All multiple Group winners yet none of them could shine whilst on track with the mighty Frankel. He’s half beast half machine..

Great race. When you consider Nathanial went on to win a King George and a Eclispe tells you how good this performace was by Frankel. This was probably the hardest race Frankel ever had or should I say Nathaniel was the only horse to really eyeball Frankel and make him work and even then I still thought Frankel always had him covered.

The benchmark of all the great champions has been winning one, or both, of the recognized championship races... the Epsom Derby or the Arc. As brilliant as Frankel and Brigadier Gerard undoubtedly were, their 2000 Guineas wins do not carry the same prestige as a Derby or Arc success.

You have to also appreciate how impressive Frankels Guineas looked, I know he didn’t run against anything near his quality but he could have won running backwards. His galloping style and way he ate the ground makes him almost impossible to get past over a mile. Would love to hear that with See The Stars, Kingman and Camelot. What a Guineas that would be!
