Frankel got the joint highest Racing Post Rating ever after today's race. To be honest, I didnt think it was THAT good. I am always a little bit skeptical when they justify the winner's huge rating by giving the runner up a fairly big mark as well. While Excelebration is OK, I dont think he is as good as the ratings suggest.


I remember when Sea The Stars was winning, the handicappers were giving ridiculous ratings to horses like Fame and Glory and Rip Van Winkle who were decent but nothing brilliant.

It will be great to see him next year though (fingers crossed). I just hope the prospect of an unbeaten horse doesn't prevent them from showing everyone what Frankel can actually do. I would absolutely love to see him do something like Queen Anne - Eclipse - Juddmonte - Arc - Breeders Cup Classic next year but I dont think they will be that maverick..
