FRANKEL (GB), c, 3, Galileo (Ire)--Kind (Ire), by Danehill. O-Khalid Abdullah; B-Juddmonte Farms; T-Henry Cecil; J-Tom Queally. Lifetime Record: 6-6-0-0, £493,553. Some had cast similarities with the great Dubai Millennium (GB) prior to today and Frankel (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) lived up to all the hype and mass of expectation with a ruthless success in the G1 Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket. In front from the outset, Tom Queally let the 1-2 pick use his impressive stride and he had buried all opposition before he reached the quarter pole. Only Dubawi Gold (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and Native Khan (Fr) (Azamour {Ire}) could emerge from the pack to chase after that, but Khalid Abdullah's unbeaten colossus was far gone and hit the line six lengths clear of the former, with Native Khan a further half length back with daylight behind him. "He did it better than I even thought he'd do it," Queally said after this breathtaking win. "He just made a show of them and to him that speed feels like a cruising canter."

![]() You nailed the margin of victory exactly. Congrats.
However, he did start to drift left the final furlong and his jock had to shake him up to maintain. Granted, the race was already over, but the way he finished up still leaves the question of 12f unanswered. We'll see. Hopefully they go to the Derby whether they have strong reservations or not about the distance. He's a rare horse and deserves a chance to be tested to the extreme. |
