Frankel came, saw, conquered and repeated it all over again. The thoroughbred Brit horse was unbeaten in all its 14 races, hanging up his horseshoe as a hero of the game and leaving records that have a little chance of getting broken along the way. Now retired, he still inspires reverence from around the world, and is aptly named after the legendary diseased trainer Bobby Frankel. For much of his playing days, his trainer was Henry Cecil, who passed away in 2013 after a brave battle with cancer. The story of Frankel would be a blob in the books of racing without the mention of his owner, Khalid Abdullah.
Frankel is part of a top stock that has always produced winners, and while there were initial doubts about his staying power, those were quickly blown away in a series of inspiring performances. Some people have dubbed him the horse of the century, and there is always a debate as to who to crown the best horse of all time between him and a few others who grabbed great timeform ratings. The list of accolades worn by this horse is impressive, ranging all the way from the Royal Lodge Stakes, acquired in 2010, to Championship Stakes, which was achieved in 2012. In between, he pretty much distend the floor with whomever he met, winning the 2000 Guineas Stakes in 2011 and the Sussex Stakes in 2011 and 2012,with these being just a few anecdotes of his invincible career.
Earnings
Over the course of his career, Frankel earned his owners £2,998,302 in prize money. However, as the experts have reported, his real potential lies in his ability to foal. He is currently a stud, with his fee placed at the astronomical heights of £125,000. The real market valuation of a stud in the mold of Frankel is said to be £100 million, a figure that is actually ‘conservative’.
