His action is really odd. He is a very special horse

Sea The Stars was a second and a half faster on similar ground.

Sea The Stars vs Frankel. What a race that would have been!

I'd have to side with Frankel. If not already, then should he win the Arc, he will be the best European horse ever.

With only one or two starts remaining in his career could you imagine Frankel closing out his career in the Arc?

I know it may be a bit far-fetched, seeing as the Arc is probably not a race you just decide to enter, but rather a race you train up to all year long. But I think that would be a great way for Frankel to close out his career!

If not I think that it would be really amazing if Camelot were to win the UK Triple Crown and Frankel and him lined up in the same starting gate together! What a race that would turn out to be! I think that Frankel would win but Camelot is undoubtedly a special horse and that would be a great match up. Perhaps the best match up that Europe could have to offer this year.
