Watch the world’s best racehorse in action on Wednesday 1 August! Frankel is carded to run at Glorious Goodwood in the Gr1 QIPCO Sussex Stakes.
SARAH WHITELAW: A view of interesting performing sire lines and mares around the world.
Far be it for me to rain on the parade of the spectacular Frankel, but by awarding him the highest ever rating of 147,Timeform immediately raises the perennial debate of who was the best.
The world’s top-rated galloper Frankel made it eleven wins from eleven races, by eleven lengths, when he soared to victory in the opening race of Royal Ascot 2012
LANCE BENSON: Black Caviar is giving the Gr1 QIPCO Sussex Stakes a miss and avoiding a potentially mindbending head-on clash with the globe’s highest-rated horse, Frankel.
A lesson to racing administrators worldwide! QIPCO agree to increase the prize money of Goodwood’s top race from £300,000 to an amazing £1 million! But conditions apply.
The unbeaten Frankel, who was electric on the racecourse throughout 2011, is tonight named Cartier Horse Of The Year at the 2011 Cartier Racing Awards. Owned and bred by Khalid Abdulla and expertly handled by Sir Henry Cecil, Frankel also takes the honours in the Cartier 3yo Colt category.
SARAH WHITELAW: Britain’s recent decision to implement a new law regarding the whipping of a horse in a race has unleashed a storm of controversy.
