Your favorite Frankel-trained male?
 

Vote for as many as you wish. This won't even be complete. Just shows what an amazing group of horses he helmed... Will do a female list as well seperately. Thread is meant as an opportunity for you to talk about your impressions of Frankel from a horseplayer or fan perspective.

Ghostzapper... in a landslide. And by his own admission, he didn't have any idea he would be that good going into his 3yo year.

gz was the best, but my favorite would be peace rules.

Its this about his best horse or about who was OUR favorite Frankel horse. I always loved Bertrando.

Only one option here.

your favorite.

You've got Mizzen Mast on there twice Stevie.

Bertrando, was the first horse i really enjoyed watching and following, his loss in the BC was also my first BC so it holds a special place in my heart as well

Leroy and Empire Maker also honorable mentions for me


-bt-

Exbourne is often the forgotten horse, but when he was right, he was a terror on the grass.

When Bobby Frankel put Jerry Bailey on the notorious deep closer APTITUDE...it was "all he wrote". One of my favorite Frankel racers.

Peace Rules gets my vote too, along with Aptitude.
It is odd, because I always really liked Peace Rules, but Empire Maker (same barn, same crop) was one of my absolute least favorite horses of the decade.

Ghostzapper was clearly the best of the group, but I never really liked (or disliked) him all that much.

I always loved watching Aldebaran. Always struck me as such an exciting racehorse.

Unless you bet him in the Sprint like the idiot I am

Pay the Butler should be on there

Skimming too

good one forgot about P.T.B.........

Ghostzapper by a big margin!

Probably Ghostzapper, but Bertrando was one running SOB.

Mazel Trick.

As good as any in this poll.

Pay The Butler? Might as well put Missionary Ridge in there.

Tinners Way another dual Pacific Classic winner.

Champs Elysees ended his career on the right note, am I right in assuming that he was Frankel's last grade 1 winner?

Garthorn should be on the list.

Shagbark, Hacawind, and The Argyle Kid. All horses i got to groom while i was on summer vacation at Del Mar while still in High school. They all won at Del Mar that summer..

:tro: :tro: :tro:

split with chesterhouse

Lots of top talent no doubt, but my personal favorite was Medaglia d'Oro

Ghostzapper was insane, but I got to meet Empire Maker this spring at Juddmonte and he was a really cool horse.

Secretariats last race horse!

I heard yesterday that Ghostzapper broke his maiden on November 16th.
RIP RF.

Leroidesanimeaux - saw this horse in person at Woodbine. Awesome Miler.

he trained him? you are right that horse was a beast. i remember him running in ny and he looked really, really good. man i'm old. i voted for squirtle squirt, love the name and that horse could move. saw him race here and he was awesome.

I'd love to know what Bobby thought of Medaglia D'Oro and his breakthrough year as a sire with Rachel Alexandra, etc. I'm just not going to get used to no Bobby Frankel, that's all there is to it. He was one of the characters I really enjoyed (always fun to see Baffert's impression) in addition to being a top trainer. This season's In Memoriam tribute is gonna be a hard one.
