Would have been great to have seen him as a 4 yr old over more ground, I am not sure he can beat Cirrus by 7? Will have a look at the specials.

Some titbits...

Four of the world's top six racehorses will run in the Champion Stakes. (The Americans are silent in the rankings).

The world's #2, Cirrus des Aigles, is BHA rated 10lb lower than Frankel at 130.

Only Dancing Brave has been BHA rated higher than Frankel at 141. In order to achieve a BHA rating of 141 Frankel would have to beat Cirrus Des Aigles by 6 lengths. (Dancing Brave was also owned by Khallid Abdulla!)

Frankel is the only horse to have run to a BHA 140 twice.

Frankel has the highest Timeform Rating of 147 ever, surpassing Sea Bird at 145.

After the Juddmonte, Frankel surpassed Rock Of Gibraltar's record of eight consecutive Euro Gp 1 wins.

The only time Frankel has been odds-against was on his debut at 7/4 - against Nathaniel! His shortest price was 1/20 in the Sussex.

Frankel is valued at 100 million pounds and one stud service at 100 000 pounds. (And Cirrus Des Aigles is a gelding!!). (Galileo, is 235 000 pounds a shot).

Apparently he eats more than any other horse in the yard and insists on remaining in his original stable. He also has the largest feet in the yard.

Subjectrive opinion Easy !

IF the rain continues the going will be heavy by the weekend,doubt the horse will run if the conditions are as bad as that

According to over 2,000 votes on the Champions Series website, Frankel's finest race was his victory in last year's 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket.

Frankel to win by under 4 lengths 2-1; Frankel to win by 4 to 6 lengths, inclusive, 2-1; Frankel to win by more than 6 lengths, 2-1.
