Racing’s much needed wonderhorse Frankel maintained his unbeaten record with a majestic victory on Saturday in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on Britain’s richest ever
SARAH WHITELAW: When Fox Hunt won Sunday’s German St Leger he became the second German classic winner produced by Dubawi’s second crop. The stallion’s other German classic winner had previously been Waldpark (Deutsches Derby).
Frankel’s brilliance extended his unbeaten record to eight races, “the best I’ve ever seen” conceded his trainer Sir Henry Cecil
The 2011 Flat season in Europe already looks like it will be a tremendous one, if the Classic exploits of Frankel and Pour Moi are anything to go by, and the top horses of the year will be recognised in great style at the 21st Cartier Racing Awards in November.
Frankel’s all-the-way victory as 2-1 ON favourite in the Qipco 2,000 Guineas – the shortest odds in the race in modern times – was amongst the most brilliant performances ever in British racing history.
Two South African star performers in Dean Kannemeyer’s Gimme A Prince and the Vaughan Marshall champion 3yo One Stripe, who runs in Sunday’s HSH Princess Charlene Big Cap, feature in the first edition of the LONGINES World’s Best Racehorse Rankings for 2025
The tongue-twistingly named sprinter was bred and is owned in South Africa, trained by a US-based Brit and will be ridden by a French-based Belgian
