Sir Henry Cecil interview - Part Two

[@leesog3203]

You get a strong impression from the last few minutes of this interview that Sir Henry knew Frankel would do something extraordinary in his next start.. He Improved around a stone for his run in the lockinge, and he was still going away from them in the Queen Anne.. He was absolutely untouchable that day and no horse in recorded history would have went with him that day..

Cecil's getting annoyed with the interviewer at one point, but still so calm

After the Juddmonte International, as long as the going was correct, he maybe should have gone for the Arc. It would have been risky, and Arc raises can be rough, positioning is all important but the doubts about stamina and who is the best horse would have been laid to rest. Also if Noble Mission could travel 2400m and was only beaten a short head in France. Frankel possibly could have won the Arc.

Races not raises

[@freedomforpeopletruelies6]

Why ? The Arc is nothing special.

If everyone says frankle is the best in the world why didn't he travel half way around the world with tore muscles and still win as black caviar did, she raced on a track that was completely different to hers, if frankel is so good why didn't he come to Australia half way around the world with good travel and racing on a different track and see if he won i think he didn't want to take that risk and be beaten by one of ours .

[@contee12345]

Because he didn't need to

[@leesog3203]

Coral Zintilis Black Caviar's own trainer even acknowledged Frankel to be in a different stratosphere to that great mare.. Frankel was a freak and his Queen Anne tells you everything..

[@hiansatchwell9215]

She was a sprinter, he was a miler. Two great champions in their own rights.

[@gipperbanana]
