That depends, did anybody tell Frankel beforehand that the horse would be required to carry a jockey? I mean if they just sprung it on him, I could understand why he'd find that unfair against Fabulous Strike.

Seriously though if Hard Spun can carry Larry Jones around a track without fracturing something, a horse can carry 120-124 just fine. Unless they're made of glass, which apparently Bobby finds is frequently the case in his barn.
