Frankel next year...
 
...he should chase the best milers in the world around the world. If he's the best at a mile...he should travel and prove it. What is the odds of that happening?

Just sayin'.

So as the best, he should have to chase others around? Whatever happened to challengers having to prove themselves against the best?

Thats why Zenyatta doesnt get respect. She never chased anyone to prove she was the best.

I don't think this is true. First, Zenyatta got a lot of respect it was just that if people didn't say she was the greatest thing since sliced bread, he little fans got upset. Second, it was a different situation. She was staying in restricted races on a synthetic surface. Frankel is running in open races and taking on all comers.

I know what you mean. I dont know where else the other great milers are that could contend with Frankel outside of Europe. Japan or Australia maybe?
