Suddenly a Horse of the Year debate seems meaningless... very sad news, but I'm glad he was able to die at home. One of the greatest handlers this game has ever seen. RIP.

He was my absolute favorite trainer. The love he had for all animals just radiated from him when he spoke about them.

I only had the pleasure of speaking to him once and when I told him that Sightseek was my all-time favorite horse his face lit up and softened as he spoke about what an incredibly kind animal she is.

RIP Mr. Frankel - racing lost a true Champion of a trainer.
