Dancing Brave without a doubt

[@SpursFanCanada]

Over a mile and a half Dancing Brave was better than Frankel but over a mile I'd hate to have to pick one.

The Brave was the best for me. Broke track record at grade 1 track Goodwood on the bridle. Fastest ever 2f-1f furlong in his derby. Think of all the Derby horses over many many years who've all quickened in that crucial furlong and DB was quicker than all of them Then add the quality of opposition he beat in great races. He has the full resume in comparison to the others in this great list

[@sabrehill1]

@Stephen Small Jockey error, too far back Frankel nearly lost thru jockey error but because the oppo was sub standard he got away with it.

[@abdullahaboobakker1758]

[@roberto4001000]

Dancing brave no.1

[@steveobrien9801]

Dancing Brave all the way….

[@FIamingMoeBUBU]

Can’t disagree with any of those choices. It was a pleasure to see 3 of the 5 in the flesh.

[@NiesQue]

Yea Dancing Brave for me.. vintage era of horses and he dominated

[@diesis]

Dancing Brave for me, he was brilliant over a mile and a mile and a half, he should have won the Derby and you can ignore the Breeders Cup as he was spent by then. Frankel, brilliantly trained by Henry Cecil but kept at a mile until late on in his 4 year old career and did not have the scope of distances that DB had or the quality of opposition.

[@murdoch691]

I just adore enable she such a sweetheart but with that killer streak she a darling girl

[@samc3068]

Kingman was pure fire when asked to go

[@elgransenor1472]

Dancing Brave for me. That Arc was the greatest race of the last 50 years.

[@russe19642]

Did frankel race in that?

[@elgransenor1472]

@@russe19642 no mate, his trainer was in the late stages of terminal cancer so wasn't even well enough to make the trip to Paris. But good on you for trying to score inane points on the internet about tthat.

[@artfuldodger2623]

8 group 1 winners in a line a furlong out in Dancing Brave's Arc and he went paat like they selling platers at Catterick. Frankel visually was exceptional in modeen times and was trained by the King of the turf.

[@bobbyknox9258]

Commentator "he says go on Frankel" Queally absolutely motionless 🤣

[@salahb5824]

Frankel is seriously impressioning me every time

[@tomweller6449]

Frankel is the best ever to do it. Enable is my era and she is my Queen.

[@grahammonro6500]

Your era must be Short spanned .Dancing Brave no 1.. And Rainbow Quest ahead of enable for sure ..

It shows how crazy good you are when Kingman is only #5

[@tikva3065]

frankel wonder horse

[@scottbuxton969]

Frankel best horse i have ever witnessed he was a phenomenon

[@arnoldstrickland5742]

He never raced the top north American horses hard to judge

[@arnoldstrickland5742]

The Arrogate run was the most impressive but it killed him never the same after this race

[@richardgross5852]

Enable. Win the Arc then ship to a country and track you've never experienced and win the most thrilling BC Turf ever works for me.

[@wheretheresawilltheresaway7752]

warning ,banks hill ,zafonic.

[@Sophia-js5mr]

Frankel beat the same opponents over and over and never won outside England, Goldikova does. Thank you

[@Shadai929]

Those same opponents where the best opposition anywhere in the world at the time and he destroyed them all

[@clivechurchward3862]

I loved Frankel but The arc and Derby Double are much more difficult to win! And have alot more better horses than Frankel was up against. Also Frankel did not have the Stamina for longer than 1mile 2 f.

The big A was special took down a champion who was on six straight grade 1 and the way he did it broke a track record in his first route race the miss the break and recovered to beat gunrunner with ease he is #1 for me

[@milolee4746]

"Dancing brave was a superstar and proved himself one of the greatest champions,but Frankel was something else". Khallid Abdulla when asked which of his two champions was the better. Regardless of ANYONE'S opinions,surely the owner of these two all time great horses opinion and verdict, has more merit than all of our opinions...put together?!

[@yannick9473]

Frankel and Baaeed are overhyped. Frankel last run at ascot just proved he would've been eaten alive by the greatest of all Dancing Brave. Don't get me wrong both great horses yes, but nothing compared to the huge acceleration of DB. He was so special he would've won a group one sprint race.

[@jonnyhyndman5298]

Kingman never backed at all always to short off odds

When Enable retires from racing she ought to be covered by Arrogate.

[@myfrobert]

Unfortunately Arrogate has been decesed.

[@purisraarkhaufnakstories]

[@jonnyhyndman5298]

Darwin really did smash a few races at 1 point though Frankel was way better

[@alioucisse1548]

No way in hell Frankel would've beaten Dancing Brave

[@dazzac74]

Watching Enable winning the Arc, half of them horses have been to Aust and dine nothing, for a 2400m race they would not handle a Caulfield Cup the way its run, they walk over there in Europe for 2000m then sprint a Caulfield Cup is a 2400m sprint rough and tough, even a Tancred Stakes at WFA these horses would not handle the way we race here in Aust.

[@barryduncan]

No way to prove any of that and why hasn't Australian horses been to Europe and conquered

[@engraftedisrael1419]

Sea the stars would have beaten any of these in my opinion.

[@wheretheresawilltheresaway7752]

never ,dancing brave would have beaten sts every day of the week and twice on a sunday

[@russe19642]

The only thing wrong with frankel compared to the rest is he didn't really race much,old excelebration was his whipping horse but the opposition drops off pretty dramatically,the others earn their title but i cant decide out of them the big A or enable,but either they weren't scared to race overseas and take on all comers

[@MarkHewitt]

Cirrus Des Aigles was a great horse.

[@protarget1]

After Excelebration got hammered in the QA he went to France, ran in Jacques le Marois (Group 1) (3yo+ and easily beat 8 individual G1 winners

[@abidsultan2764]

As a horse. (No)

[@FirehouseDub]

Pork Pie, Toenails, Pull Down Ya Pants and the Ernie Pickles filly Sausage Juice were all better than this rubbish.

[@ebonydlite5135]

Kingman was pure fire when asked to go

[@benbim540]

when he won at royal ascot he ran the last 5 furlongs of the mile in a quicker time than the group 1. 5 furlong race was run in. the group 1 sprint over 5 furlongs is run on the last 5 furlongs of the mile course.
