KingKong 44 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 amazing horse, has it raced that austrailian horse yet black caviar ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FUJI 17,327 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 No it hasn't and it won't ever happen now unless Black Caviar steps upto a mile and a quarter which it won't as Frankel is only ever racing once more in October at Ascot against 2000 Guineas winner and Derby winner Camelot..should be a real race but i just cannot envisage defeat for Frankel it's a MACHINE!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tegater 789 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Must have been a great day. Don't know much about horses, so why do they say it is so great? Nice pics as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tegater 789 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I think its won its last 13 races 6 group races , not sure if its been beat before It looks alright but as I said I have little knowledge about them apart from they bite from one end, kick from the other, and the bit in the middle chucks you off! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FUJI 17,327 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 It won just under half a million quid today ..they were saying on tv this morning that when he goes to stud he'll amass over £100 million in no time? 13/13 wins and looks like being even more successful at stud?..Owning him would be like winning the lottery every week 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dawnraider09 75 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 what an arse that horse has got,pure power,thats what i tell the old woman as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mally 832 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Couldn't back it at 1/10 on though..... Still a sight to see him destroy a quality field without the jockey lifting the whip to him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FUJI 17,327 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Mally like you say that was a top quality field and he never came of the bridle to win by 7 lengths and in a group 1 it's just not common procedure to win a race of that prestige like that? I can't see another of his like to grace the race track in our lifetimes? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frankel 2,123 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Camelot is a great horse and its only right it races frankel to see which horse is the best. But its going to have to be alot better than when it won the derby to best him. I just cant see frankel getting beat. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FUJI 17,327 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 The horse that ran 2nd to Camelot in the Derby Main Sequence was 2nd at York today to Thought Worthy and that horse itself was 3rd last time to Frankels full brother Noble Mission trained like Frankel by Sir Henry Cecil so he'll no doubt have the knowledge as to if Camelot will cause Frankel any sort of problems come October?..I think not on all known form but Camelot being just three may still be improving?
