Did anyone else watch the race? Frankel ran a blinder and won in style! Dubawi Gold ran a good race also finishing in 2nd, I knew I should have put a bet each way on him :p
 
Frankel was very impressive. When he was 15l ahead in the middle part of the race and the camera was bowling along beside him it was a wonderful sight, what a stride. He's gorgeous.
 
He has got a massive stride on him. I, like many others I'd guess, thought there was no way he could keep it up till the end, but he put in so much effort. Such a nice horse :)

Haha not too sure, I think they asked Tom Queally about that after the race and he said he wanted to gallop so he let him as if he stopped him from going he wouldnt run so well, which I think is understandable when you have a horse that good :)

The plan was that if the pace wasn't there they would let him bowl on rather than fight and pull him out of his stride! he is a classy classy horse. Frankie Dettori said this morn that he couldn't be beaten!
