Champs Elysees ended his career on the right note, am I right in assuming that he was Frankel's last grade 1 winner?

Garthorn should be on the list.

Lots of top talent no doubt, but my personal favorite was Medaglia d'Oro

Ghostzapper was insane, but I got to meet Empire Maker this spring at Juddmonte and he was a really cool horse.

I'd love to know what Bobby thought of Medaglia D'Oro and his breakthrough year as a sire with Rachel Alexandra, etc. I'm just not going to get used to no Bobby Frankel, that's all there is to it. He was one of the characters I really enjoyed (always fun to see Baffert's impression) in addition to being a top trainer. This season's In Memoriam tribute is gonna be a hard one.
