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

You could always spot a Frankel horse because they were so beautifully turned out with their banged tails. He took so much pride in the little things like that.

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.

It's just splitting hairs, but she was 5.30-1 in that race (I can only assume you're talking about the Gamely, the race toward the end of her career when Blanc got back aboard to win after being replaced by Prado [1x] and Nakatani [2x]), and her stablemate High Walden was 6.00-1 there. Tranquility Lake was even money there and finished 2nd, while High Walden set the pace and finished 4th, beaten a head more than three lengths.

I'm sure we're talking about the same race, just the price she was threw me off when I was trying to figure out which horse you were talking about.

Megahertz was a just a neat little filly. Her runs were breathtaking.

Was High Walden the Frankel horse? Was Desourmeaux riding...I don't know where I was betting, maybe it was a different pool but I do remember getting 9-1 on her. Regardless she was a pretty good filly and that memory was a particularily nice one.

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.
