Hell, a totally healthy Uncle Mo, if he was equally capable on grass (I know, I know, he's likely done), I think Frankel would have had a big disadvantage going against a horse with Mo's ability and style.
How on Earth could Frankel possibly have handled Dubai Millenium?

I don't like how Frankel has essentially "snuck" his way into the pantheon of greatness, after spending most of this season ducking major races (Epsom Derby, Eclipse, etc.), failing to display stamina of any sort, and showing the obvious limitations to his unbridled running style, simply by mauling Canford Cliffs in a 4-horse field.
This was a horse that was essentially conceded the Epsom Derby after his Dewhurst win at 2. Funny that his connections didn't even make the attempt.
Yeah, Henry Cecil knows a great horse when he sees one. He also knows a very limited horse when he sees one.
