Is anyone going to be watching , I will be , he has been the most amazing horse , and to win the last race of his career will be special
 
It won't be special if he wins his last race. It will be normal for him.

I do love the Household Cavalry's picture of them all riding out around London wearing his colours.

Frankel has many admirers and surporters. He has set the world on fire for the last few years and I hope he remains near the top in the Bloodstock Industry - I still much prefer his father, Galileo :D
 
This will seem like a very naive question but what will happen to frankel afrer this, will somebody pay megabucks for him?
 
They will probably pay over £100k just for ahem a little bit of him (his stallion service fee for each mare) :-))))
The only downside (If he has one) is his breeding is heavy on both the common historic supersires eg Northen Dancer so those wanting to avoid an overload of that breeding (which is everywhere) he might not be ideal for.
 
I'd watch it on the Beeb if I were you.

I can't wait for tomorrow and praying he carries on his unbeaten run. I don't think it will be quite so easy for him tomorrow with the soft ground, but on all known form, he should win and win well.
I also hope he staying in training next year but I expect Prince K will retire him to stud. He won't go to Coolmore - he'll stand at the Prince's Juddmonte Farm. Mares will be hand picked for him and fee is likely to be £100,000. He only has to service 25 mares in his first season to earn what he's won on the racecourse !!!!! But I'd love to see him race on as a 5 year old - it would be just the tonic Sir Henry needs too :)
 
not bad for a couple of minutes work a day is it, ha ha.
I wonder what he'll be like as a stallion. I believe he's quite a challenging young man as it is, full of himself. I've heard he's a 'nice person' but needs careful handling.
Its been fantastic to watch his races - I've never seen anything like him and doubt I ever will.
 
£100k is quite cheap for such a high calibre of horse but I suspect he will start at £50-75k as you can't guarantee the offspring will be any good.

Galileo started at £50, went down to £35k for a bit and then when his stock turned into superstars his stud fee shot up to 'Private' which was rumoured to be £250k by invite only.

Same as Sadler's Wells he was a 'Private' stud fee.
 
Sad person that I am, I will probably cry whether he wins or loses. I love him and hope that he will be retired and not kept on as a 5yr old. His dam Kind is in foal again to Galileo due early next year, so I will follow that one with interest :)
 
He has nothing to prove, so I expect he will be reetired, which is safer than training, thought there are risks either way, I think the will select mares who have world class breeding and the temperament to stand for him.
Good luck to Sir Henry, who has seen his loyal owners rewarded, all Newmarket has great respect for this man, it is no exageration to state that he is revered, and has been for many years.
 
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Excited! But im at work.....we be sneeky and try and watch it live like i did the national.......people wanting to book holidays can wait teehee
