TDN: Frankel cops Cartier as Euro Horse of the Year

[brockguy]

I'm glad to see that Cirrus Des Aigles got some well deserved recognition - he has been nothing short of brilliant this year and on a line through Silver Pond would have run extremely well in the Arc had he been allowed to (geldings are ineligible). He is what is so great about horse racing!

As for Frankel, my big regret on this board is not starting a thread on this fella before he had even raced - there was so much hype about him before his first start and again it is fantastic to see a horse live up to the hype - onwards and upwards next year and I hope they really try and shoot for the stars with him next year taking in top class G1s from a mile to a mile and a half!

Yeah train the brilliant speed out of him and make him ordinary that should be fun
