Think his victory in the Royal Lodge was when it really dawned he was something special.

Not in the same class but Arazi in the Breeders Cup was pretty memorable

Frankels Sire and Dam are both out of Northern dancer meaning he is inbred.
Huge difference it seems to those from a town not too far away.

Just watch him in the guineas half way Tom is looking behind him man. I had dubawi gold to come second sure he was like fifty to one. Unreal horse
Who was jockey? Mick Kinane? Sure he was like fifty year old. Cam from nowhere I watched it in Glasgow unreal ride. Love horse racing it’s so special when you see a good horse.

Frankel was amazing.
Black Caviar was one of the most amazing horses I've had the pleasure of seeing. Beat allcomers in Australia and had more wins than the great Phar Lap. Only raced once in England I believe.

If we talking about Derby wins you can’t look past Workforce’s win, was nigh on last coming round to the corner then just took off!
Yep, she won at Royal Ascot. Jockey almost blew it by easing off too early but got away with it.
Aye I back it to win by over 2 or 3 lengths if I remember correctly

Yeah, looked like she'd do it by a couple of lengths when she moved into the lead.
Winx is the other Aussie superhorse of recent times but she never ran over here.

Amazing American commentary. Btw
Yes, real shame Winx never came over here, was always mentioned with coming to ascot

The queen Anne and 2000 were unbelievable. 11 lengths in a group 1
We will never see another horse like it, When people were getting excited about enable it was clear it was never going to be in same league

He wasn't overall, but his performance in that particular race, was as good a performance I have ever seen by a horse, he went from practically last to hammer the field, went past horse after horse as if they were standing still.
Plus the American commentary was class!

She was outstanding, I’ve never seen a horse come from so far back, she made a living of it.
Just toyed with her opposition. Number 3 on here is ridiculous. Makes up 12 lengths at just over a quarter of a mile

Some of that is just ridiculous. Like the scene in sea biscuit when they come through the field
Always hard to compare, but as much as I love Frankel, Winx was an equally amazing racer. 33 straight wins.
Difficult to compare UK and Australian courses, turf, going etc... but even accounting for that Winx winning times at the same distances suggest she would edge it.
Interestingly her and Zenyatta had the same sire.
