This is very uncool of me for saying this but the Frankel photo they have of him winning his race from Royal Ascot is in fact from 2011 when he wasnt brilliant beating Zoffany by a fast diminishing length or so! 2012s win was a lot more comfortable!! Anyway - still a great headline!!

I'm glad there's still fanfare for the sport elsewhere... sucks that beside the TC races and the Breeders Cup that no one cares about the sport over here.
