I'm a US fan, and I know I'm supposed to be bias in favor of great dirt horses, but the middle half mile of this race is the most ridiculous thing I'm seen in racing. He shouldn't be able to run that course, like that, and still win. Much less by open lengths. 40 years I've been watching racing, and Frankel is the best I've seen.

this never gets old. I have to visit this video once a year to remember. I will never ever forget watching this horse fly past me at Ascot. Breathtaking

He's destroyed them from half way? He destroyed them from them start

Even quarter horses in America don't run like that.

Hard to Imagine any Miler Beating Him that Day, but there will always be that niggling Feeling that We were denied the Chance to See Him over a mile and a Half, So He cant be Compaired to the Likes of SeaBird, and Nijinsky. Brigadier Gerrard Won the King George over 12 Furlongs, However He was Beaten Fair and Sqiare by Roberto at York imho. I Believe SeaBird, Nijinsky, and Pent celebre were the Top 3 in Europe, and Secretariat the Greatest Middle Distance Horse of all Time

The most ludicrous ride ever.

Do you care to compare what he and black Caviar did by the end of their 4 year old careers?

Hard whipped 4 times in the last furlong, exhausted at the end and beating an average Listed horse. This is the most ever rated performance in racing history. Frankel got alot better, maybe even became the best. But this race is rose tinted. Brigadier Gerard Beating Mill Reef and El Gran Senor beating Chief Singer is a different class.

I love this commentary. The shear disbelief of the commentator when he says "he's 15 lengths clear" What a race, what a horse. Sad I wasn't into horse racing at the time Frankel was around

As an aussie I absolutely loved watching this marvel run I am a true lover of all horses but to have had the privilege of watching equine freaks such as frankel, black caviar, winx, altior , sunline , fairy king prawn , beauty generation etc it gives you goosebumps to watch the truly special ones go about there work

The only time the word ‘Destroyed’ should be used to describe a horse race. The tone he has at “15 lengths clear” immediately makes you understand the gravity of this performance. He was one of a kind

Had the pleasure of seeing him at York last week playing with the rest of the group one field in the Juddmonte. The most awesome display of power I've ever seen...Let's not forget Tom Queally who has an amazing bond with this superstar, and Sir Henry who's brilliant mind has guided him to this level. Unforgettable day, I shed a tear or two. I've seen some greats, I'm lucky enough to be from York and have seen many special races over the years. This racehorse is a different class.

I remember watching this live and thinking, 'oh my fucking Christ'. I have never seen a horse just simply obliterate such top class opposition as he did that day. Watch the way he moves. he was utterly unique and I don't think we will ever see the likes of him again. The best miler without a shadow of a doubt if not the best racehorse of all time!
