Default Your favorite Frankel-trained male?

Vote for as many as you wish. This won't even be complete. Just shows what an amazing group of horses he helmed... Will do a female list as well seperately. Thread is meant as an opportunity for you to talk about your impressions of Frankel from a horseplayer or fan perspective.

Ghostzapper... in a landslide. And by his own admission, he didn't have any idea he would be that good going into his 3yo year.

Peace Rules gets my vote too, along with Aptitude.
It is odd, because I always really liked Peace Rules, but Empire Maker (same barn, same crop) was one of my absolute least favorite horses of the decade.

Ghostzapper was clearly the best of the group, but I never really liked (or disliked) him all that much.

I always loved watching Aldebaran. Always struck me as such an exciting racehorse.

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.
