IF, and these are big ifs, granted, but if Mo had no physical issues and took to grass as well as dirt, I'd say there's no freaking way on Earth Frankel destroys him.

In fact, based on what I've seen from Frankel, it's likely if those two faced each other going a mile on turf (again, Mo would have to be the same horse he was), Mo would run Frankel into submission.

Yeah, sure, if Frankel got 2 going 48.3, he would be tough, but if they went head to head in a quick pace duel, Frankel wouldn't finish in the same zip code.

You should go watch Frankel's previous race. That race is very telling, and unlike most people, I think making the jockey the scapegoat for that performance is ridiculous.
