Frankel!!!!! Retired TBs -Past and Present

Derby not entirely out of the question.
Stunning Frankel storms to 2000 Guineas victory
Within a furlong, Frankel had put daylight between himself and his rivals. With half a mile to run, Frankel was ten lengths clear of his toiling rivals. Frankel's raking stride took him further and further clear and at the three-furlong pole Queally took a look between his legs and it was a long way back to his rivals.

Loved the video. Thanks for the URL. It was so nice to hear the commentators talk about Bobby Frankel and to hear them be as overwhelmed by Frankel's performance as we are.

What a thriller - he kinda reminds me of Barbaro or Slew with that aggressive dominating speed

If he's anything like those two, he might be able to carry his speed a whole lot further than they think. That would be great. I would love to see him in the Derby if there is any hope of him harnessing that speed for a mile and a half.
