Sea the stars greatest horse race and stud of all time ❤

[@hobbyhorsero4115]

Best horse ever 🏇

[@GBeret83]

Best horse ever, NO, not even close. Best stayer ever, he's right at the top of the list with the best for certain, and if he manages to tie Yeats record of winning the Ascot Gold Cup four times he may then become known as the greatest stayer ever because the rest of his career CV is better than Yeats's. To me the only stayer in recent years who's been anywhere close to Stradivarius as far rarely losing big staying races is Vazirabad in France, and Stradivarius beat him and Order of St George both head to head in the 2018 Ascot Gold Cup.

[@zenithhorseracingclub3791]

Nope

[@kepnjem]

Bet Strad could equal Yeats' feat. He gets better as he gets older.

[@raphaelmorales7523]

Best stayer on planet earth.

[@HEZZ73]

i think the mighty yeats might have something to say about that1

[@222mozart]

a hero

[@daysofmkty3029]

Love a battle..

[@whitebuffalodesigns1963]

Strange how small the 2020 field is. Strat is an awesome horse

[@franciscomontesdeoca5316]

Amazing horse is a thunder is a tsunami great.

[@Marjopolo302]

whats the tune people please?

[@jamiehernandez8169]

Stradivarius 4th Gold Cup. Take the 2/1 with Willy Hills now !!. Will be Odds on well before June 2021 😉

[@jamiehernandez8169]

Skybet opened 3/1....already been backed into 2s. Will be surprised if any other bookie opens a bigger price

[@elgransenor1472]

The three he won he was sitting 4th entering the final turn The two he didn’t win he was much further back. Strange tactics

[@nicholasthomas2397]

Winx the best horse. Would eat strad alive

[@headmasterritual957]

finally someone who's got some nous

[@davidkent8606]

What nonsense, Winx lost both of her races at a mile and a half, she'd never stay two miles plus. Strad would play her like a fiddle.

[@kanefarmer6505]

Wasn’t Winx a great horse in a poor field? (Auz racing)

[@nicholasthomas2397]

@@davidkent8606 Winx one 25 group ones over all distances. Could also race from the back or the front unlike strad. Aus racing far more exciting over a variety of distances unlike your marathons

[@davidkent8606]

@@nicholasthomas2397Wrong. She failed in her 2 attempts at a mile and a half, and never raced over a distance futher than that. I like Winx she's a great horse, but she wouldn't beat The Strad over the extreme distances he runs at.

[@whitebuffalodesigns1963]

Distance runners get better with age and consistent training. This horse has definitely earned his oats.

[@elgransenor1472]

Hope he gets a decent chance at stud. No reason with the right mares he couldn't get great 12f horses.

[@dhevingovender8611]

Fabulous stayer and I hope he makes it 4 in a row this year. I also just want to give a shout-out to Nayef Road - he's had to play second/third fiddle (pun intended) in his races against Stradivarius but what a brave front-runner and a horse after my own heart.

[@antonywinsor6168]

you should have waited a year before you posted this video and you could have four gold cup wins

[@muhammadfawzyabdulkadir3801]

Wonder horse

[@smpsmp6974]

WOW

[@howardiorere8962]

Too good Stradivarius

[@joaquinturfsanlucar3613]

I have a Stradivarius cloth worn. Some buyer interested, tell me it.

[@gievents]

Frankie always keeps him 4th or 5th on all races during the run

[@rivermcginniss6645]

He's gonna get his 4th in 2 hours no doubt about that

[@richardbuckland5777]

THIS IS WHY WE LOVE RACEING FRANKIE AND JOHN GOSDEN THE GREATES TEAM IN THE WORLD AND THE BEST THING IS THEY CARE ABOUT THIER HORSES

[@martineco838]

AMHRAN NA BHFIANN will win Ascot gold cup take that🤒

[@dytjayasinghe]

Woow what a horse
