Steve, as much of a fan as I wasn't of Ginger Punch shouldn't she be mentioned as well?

Was gonna ask for the same. Considering my cat is named Ginger Punch, I think I know who my vote goes to.

One of my favorites not on the list was a graded stakes winner that Brice Blanc rode regularily, I remember one of her last stakes wins she went off as a longshot which she won over another Frankel filly. Anyone remember who she was?

Intercontinental was my fav also. Had a weird lanky stride but it looked awesome. Also helps I had $50 to win on her in the BC when she went off 17-1

She beat A higher regarded Juddmonte filly in a race where Brice got back aboard her after being replaced by Frankel, she went off at 9-1 or thereabouts(an overlay to say the least!) and though this is all by memory I remember Brice hugging the hedge tracking the leaders and when he produced her she ran by her stablemate in deep stretch.

Yes Happynyouknowit, I remember Brice being replaced on her after she lost a few, then she didn't do so well and once he got back on her again she won, they fit each other very well.

One horse you bet against at your own risk. She always put in a good run (and won me a bit of $$ too).

Hands down, Megahertz is my all-time favorite Frankel female. I loved watching that little horse run!

looks like a lot of folks think the same way, she's outdistancing the competition.

I had the good fortune to speak with Bobby in the Saratoga paddock about a week after Indian Flare went a half in 44 + with a broken pelvis and had to be put down. He was so proud of her. She may not have been the best filly or mare, but suffice it to say he thought she was one of the gamest.
