It is interesting to note that one of the 3 horses rated

above Frankel by Timeform is Tudor Minstrel,that great miler

from yesterday year.Like Frankel he won the 2000 Guineas and

then run in the 12 furlong Derby were it was shown in clear

terms he did not get the distance.In his next race the St,James Palace Stakes at Ascot,a race that Frankel also won

he showed what a great miler he really was.In his next race

the 10 furlong Eclipse Stakes at Sandown Park he would finish second to Migoli who had run second in the Derby and in 1948 would win the Arc.Tudor Minstrel never ran as a 4 year old but run his last race at 3 at the distance he was

best at,one mile in the Knights Royal Stakes were he beat

among others Petition who would go on to become a top class

sire.Tudor Minstrel was a top class miler who never lost at that distance but I truly believe that the best distance for

Frankel is 10 furlongs and I hope next year he will be allowed to show what a world beater he really is at that distance.

There are a lot of unsung heroes in the racing world just

like there are for any sphere in life and one of them is Bullet Train the three quarter brother to Frankel.Blessed with tremendous speed just like his mother,Kind he has turned out to be the perfect workhorse for Frankel.Whatever

Frankel goes on to achive on the racetrack although it won,t get much attention a lot of it will be attributed to Bullet Train.

That one mile maiden run at Newmarket last Aug 13th has turned out to be a very informative race with the first two,Frankel and Nathaniel going on to accomplish so much as

3 year olds with the promise of more to come.Frankel must surely have put his harshest critics to rest with his outstanding performance against Canford Cliffs in the Sussex

Stakes at Goodwood.Now that he has got over his baby ways

there is no reason to believe that he can,t beat a top class

field over 10 furlongs and I hope he will get his chance to do so.

John T,

That was a pretty good maiden - Frankel by 1/2 length over Nathaniel, with subsequent group winner Genius Beast third.

Nathaniel also ran the subsequent Derby runner-up Treasure Beach to a head at Chester in May, so he's got some pretty good form. Could be a very smart horse in the fall, especially when there is some cut in the ground.

I can well remember Nathaniel as a young 2 year old having a hard time coping with Frankel and he has matured well to win a race like the Group 2 King Edward V11 Stakes the way he did and more is sure to follow.
