Discussion: FRANKEL!

"GOD'S" 2nd Greatest Gift
by Gary Moulton - 08/23/2012 11:16:41 PM EDT

There are not enough superlatives in the dictionary to describe how fine Frankel’s form is at this moment of time. I hope he can hold it and continue to move forward. No doubt in my mind that he is the best horse of the 21st century so far, better then Z. I don’t think he will make the Breeders Cup but if he did I believe you would see the biggest crowd in horse racing history. He will probably go in the Arc’. Frankel is “GOD’S” 2nd greatest gift, the first being the birth of a child. Bobby has to be smiling!! Can’t wait for the next one!

What a horse !!! and what a aptly named one. The Juddmonte team wanted to honor Bobby's feat with numbers of great Graded SW for their operation. They could not have chosen a better one.

I don't think words can describe the thoroughbred but I think Secretariat was trying to tell his brother animals something with his Triple Crown, all in record times.

I've watched the video of Frankel's mile and a quarter tour de force at least a dozen times today. Each time it brings a tear.This exceptionally talented colt not only wins, he wins easily, well within himself and drives a stake through the hearts of his competition.Quite possibly the best racehorse to look through a bridle in modern history. Congratulations to Sir Henry, Tom and Sheik Abdullah. Class acts one and all.

Warren, if you wanted to enjoy Frankel's "transcendental wonderfulness" you shouldda' kept it to yourself now look what you've started, who's the greatest? all over again!

I should have watched the video of Frankel's race with the sound off and then I wouldn't have felt compelled to rain on the parade but those commentators were just asking for it, if only they really had something to say. What Frankel represents is ineffable what?

Though Peter's obviously seen much in his many, many years, I'm surprised he forgets the FOREGOs, KELSOs, and SECRETARIATs. Agree Frankel's awesome and most likely the best TURF horse ever, but hardly the best of all.

Yes, Frankel is a wonder but but there have been many like him before and hopefully there will be many more for that is the"nature" of the Thoroughbred.

Yep.

We can always hope for the next one - and there will always be a next one. However, This One is here now. Let us enjoy this moment of transcendental wonderfulness.
