Give the horse the rating he deserves now? Best stayer I’ve ever seen and that includes yeats that turn of foot was fucking electric for a stayer I have no doubt he’ll turn up next year and win again

A wonderful Race/Event!!! Congratulations to Stradivarius and Frankie!!!!!

[@stephenwallace8553]

Frankie rode the sectionals perfectly. Ryan Moore had Nayef Rd 15 lengths in front of where he should of been at the 6 and 3f pole. This made Stradivarius performance look better than it was. The fact Nayef Rd was beaten only 10 lengths is incredible. He is the horse to take from the race not Stradivarius !!

[@anotherblonde]

Nayef road is the horse to take from this race is it? It's been beaten twice since.

Strativarius was one of the physically smaller horses in the field. He had to have the biggest heart to do this.

[@johnwalsh3215]

Size doesn’t always matter just look at Seabiscuit

[@deborahwebb3736]

@@johnwalsh3215 I know. Relevant to people too. For four years, five-foot tall me was one of the top woman road runners in the U.S.. I could run past the tall, lanky runners. I have strong legs and thighs, bellows for lungs, efficient circulatory system, and had an efficient running style since I studied the martial arts before taking up running, and learned to move with my hips level, so I didn't run bobbing up and down. I am even built big-boned, and more like a little human "Quarter-horsey" type body, everything you would think would be a disadvantage for a mid-to-long-distance runner. I just did not have the fast-twitch muscle fibers to get fast sprint times but could throw in a nice turn of foot at the end of a 5K or 10K. Still, my best 10K and marathon times were pretty good for a person with nearly 98% slow-twitch muscle fibers. 42:41 and 3:21.24 respectively. The person who "discovered" my running ability is the late Alfred Ortaloni who was the athletic director of the Pittsburg State University athletic teams. He was the athletic trainer of our Olympic team that went to Tokyo some years ago, I think the same year Billy Mills won the 10K final at the Olympics in Tokyo. Ortolani's students kindly showed me how to tape my foot for plantar fasciitis until I could get proper orthotics for that common runners' malady. I feel very honored to have known Al Ortolani.

you don't get horses like Stradivarius or Frankel very often and when you do we have to cherish their performances this was just mind blowing Gosden was worried he didn't like the ground now he knows he can handle it.

Stradivarius's dad wasn't bad either!

[@garethjones8395]

A can never understand how the trainer s say they don't no if there horses can handle the ground (they must surely train in all sorts of weather hard sorry ect) the trainers LL no better then me that's just my opinion but as a greyhound trainer and owner myself a no what dog LL preformon what ground,anyways once STRADIVARIUS retires just like FRANKEL be along time til we see another fantastic entaining most loved horse again

[@Serenagosden]

He just doesn't like to sound positive.... He's afraid people will bet their money. And it's racing - you can't guarantee!

[@Grxyzar]

That response from Stradivarius when Frankie gave the shake puts a smile on my face

[@TheBaltyboys]

Serious horse, taking off like that in the final 100 yards after 2.5 miles around ascot. A stayer with a turn of foot like that is Gold. Unbelievable.

[@Essydyk]

Always great to see a class stayer with that turn of foot - counts for even more to do it in that ground and this was probably a career high. Even when Stradivarius isn't at the top of his game he can still win G1s fairly easily but this was another level of brilliance.

[@SuperHarun007]

[@andrealliance2231]

Legendary stayer of all time

[@WESSERPARAQUAT]

CERTAINTY tomorrow , similar situation to Enable , even the odds on looks "value" Santiago is not good enough to beat him

[@GBeret83]

Not taking anything away from his other 2 wins in the Ascot Gold Cup, but 2018 was in my opinion his best win because the competition was the strongest. After about 3 or 4 seasons of dodging each other as (at that time) the 2 best stayers in the sport, Vazirabad and Order of St George finally decided they'd knock heads finally. But it turned out to be the final race for both and the only time they'd ever go head to head. But both ended up playing 2nd fiddle that day to the upstart, John Gosden trained 4YO, and that's pretty much the same day the mantle as the best stayer in the sport passed to him.

[@aracelyd.6455]

Really great racing. Beautiful horses 🏇🏻🏇🏻🏇🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@cjmorriscm1]

Amazing performance , what a horse , can't believe how easy he was travelling 2f out. Would love to see him in the Arc de triomphe he would have a good chance .... Credit to Nayef Road aswell - take stradavarius out the race and Nayef would have won by 6lengths or so.

[@cjmorriscm1]

Thanks mate .. yeh agree with you there Nayef road hopefully has a bright future , he won well at Newcastle last time beating some good horses. Unless as you say , stradavarius hasn't kind of ruined him - but he's certainly with a good trainer who will hopefully give him a little break after this run , thought Ryan moore rode a great race on him.

[@davidkent8606]

His trainer Gosden said he thought at one stage Dettori had Stradivarius out of his ground, so did I, I thought he's too far back, is that too much ground to make up? How wrong can you be? He's a notably smaller horse than his opposition, but what a motor he must have to demolish them like this. He's the little giant of stayers. When his flat days are over, I wonder if they'll try him over the jumps like they did with Sea Pigeon. If he jumps I reckon he could even win the Champion Hurdle. In the meantime I hope we see him come back next year to prove he's even better and than Yeats or Sagaro.

[@revilo9725]

Mark, the Ascot Gold Cup is 4000m on a very testing course. It's probably like running 4800 on an easy Australian racetrack. Totally different races. The Ascot race is half a mile downhill and two miles uphill, totally different race to the jog and sprint of the Melbourne Cup on a velodrome like track.
