I thought the time was supposed to be spectacular - hence the high timeform.

The performance was a glorified workout.

I find it hard to use time in European racing, as I do in America, the way the races are run can differ markedly, and this race literally walked the first furlong while they sorted it out.

I got chills watching that horse run that race, the sheer power and ability. One of the best horses I've seen in years. After the race is over, as they go over the car tracks and Frankel switches leads - he puts his head down and looks ready to sprint another 3 and take on all comers.

You didn't enjoy it? Okay.
