Frankels last race

A true privileged to watch poetry in motion yesterday. So glad there wasn't a unhappy ending as so often happens. Was a little concerned when he got left at the start on very heavy ground...needn't have been. Think the wonderful team at Henry Cecil's have got him so switched off until asked to do his job that he probably was snoozing in the stalls! Interesting to hear Frankel evidently eats and sleeps the most of any horse on the yard. Have seen many wonderful racehorses including Sea Bird, Mill Reef, Dancing brave to name but a few BUT I do believe that Frankel is perhaps the best ever as he has so easily won most of his races.
Let's hope he is a success at stud and passes on even a 1/4 of his wonderful movement and temperament.
I was saddened to see how ill Henry is and can only hope he is still around to see Frankel's offspring grace the racecourse.
 
Was really lucky to get some last minute tickets to go. And so glad I did!

Was absolutely brilliant being there. As soon as Frankel turned onto the home straight everyone was shouting and clapping him on. It was all very emotional. Even the beefcake of a man next to me had a tear in his eye!

BEST.DAY.EVER!!!
