Default 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.

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

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.

Probably Ghostzapper, but Bertrando was one running SOB.
