Frankel

Dewhurst
The final run of his juvenile campaign and fourth start ended with Frankel racing off an official mark off 123.

Result: A two and a quarter length defeat of Roderic O'Connor and the first of 11 Group 1 wins.

Rise +3lbs (New mark 126)

Greenham
The first start of an unforgettable Classic campaign saw Frankel rated 13lb clear of his nearest rival at Newbury.

Result: A four-length stroll beating Excelebration, who would prove a worthy but ultimately outclassed foe.

Rise: None (Mark 126)

2,000 Guineas
The first Classic of the season and one of the most memorable performances in modern-day history.

Result: A six-length decimation of the field, making most at a lung-bursting pace.

Rise +4lb (New mark 130)

Golden Horn

Feilden Stakes
Following a debut win at Nottingham, Golden Horn started this season on a mark of 90 at Newmarket.

Result: A straightforward length and a half defeat of Peacock, then rated 16lb superior.

Rise: +21lb (New mark 111)

Dante
Usually the strongest Investec Derby trial, this looked the case again, with stablemate Jack Hobbs the 2-1 favourite.

Result: The 1m2½f trip led to a new best as Jack Hobbs was seen off comfortably by two and three quarter lengths.

Rise +7lb (New mark 118)

Derby
Golden Horn's stamina for 1m4f was the major concern, but it proved to be no problem whatsoever.

Result: Frankie Dettori surged clear by three and a half lengths, again defeating Jack Hobbs.

Rise: +8lb (New mark 126)



Coral-Eclipse
Took on elders for the first time and received chunks of weight on the age scale.

Result: A drop in trip and change in tactics provided another three and a half length victory, this time Dettori making virtually all.

Rise +4lb (New mark 130)

I am not sure that Golden Horn is a Frankel yet and what is Treve? The ARC should be a cracker

Not saying he's a Frankel, there will never be another Frankel but he's certainly the only 3yo to have win the Dante, Derby and Eclipse

The more I watch the Eclipse replay, the more I am impressed with Golden Horn.

i still don't get this. I vented over the last longines because treve came in at 126 I think and American pharaoh at 128. surely there should be some semblance of comparison between ap and gh - this makes gh better than ap which I would say is wrong - they are surely equal ?
and what about Gleneagles?
