![]() He's got to be on the short list now. Incredible horse. I watched the Queen Elizabeth before the Champion Stakes and watching the way Excelebration dominated gave me even more appreciation for just how good Frankel is. He's a truly great horse.

![]() Wouldn't it be awesome if they tried something grand and tested his limits?
A 2013 campaign with starts in the Dubai World Cup on synthetic and Breeders Cup Classic on dirt. Something that could truly stamp him as the horse of the world (like John Hertz tried to do with Reigh Count) He's clearly established as one of the greatest turf performers of all-time and he has a couple of the great turf performances of all-time. It's the kind of thing you would do if you had him on a video game. Shame, there are no real good horse racing video games. Madden = Awesome NCAA Football = Awesome NHL Video games = Awesome MLB Video Games = Awesome NBA Video Games = Believe it or not, Awesome Fifa Soccer = Other than the fact my girlfriend beats me everytime, awesome Is it really so hard to make a decent horse racing video game? The NTRA tried one time ... it was legendary how bad that game was. Now, the NTRA just save their video game efforts into annually making a joke like I'll Have Another beating Spectacular Bid and Zenyatta beating Citation and Affirmed. |

![]() Fantastic Frankel. How lucky we are to have seen this horse race.
His final Timeform for today's race was a provisional of 139, 8lbs below his best. Timeform gave Excelebration a provisional 135 (2 lb improvement over his lifetime best) for his dominating performance winning the QEII Stakes earlier (which was another awesome race).
