Well damn. Dammmmmmmn. Dominating win by a truly great horse. Not the greatest of competition but good enough to find out how he'd do in a different situation. Wow. After this, I'm wondering if they might reconsider the Arc? He destroyed the field with Farhh second, St. Nicholas Abbey third, and Twice Over fourth. Another wow.

Saw on Twitter a few minutes ago that this is under consideration. "Whispers" they called it.

That was awesome!

Found this good pictures of Frankel as a yearling (I do love they named this one after Bobby)



At the end of his 3-year-old year he was valued at $100 million



Now he owns the world:

Imagine if he didnt have pints of blood pouring out of his lungs? I just feel awful for the poor guy having to race so hard without lasix

Too bad Ryan Moore got injured and couldn't keep the mount on Planteur...

Seeing that race was a great start to my birthday.

And I think Frankel could take Sea the Stars.

Wow.

I really thought this would be his hardest test yet and he'd have to work for it. But he cruised in. Amazing animal.
