All eyes on Frankel in St James's Palace

There's going to be some other very decent 3yr.old's in the St James's Palace Stakes field that are already G1 winners in Europe themselves. I.E., Dream Ahead, Wootton Bassett, Excelebration, and Zoffany. That said, Frankel is literally in a league all his own among his 3yr.old pears. The running of the St James's Palace is almost just a formality, IMO. Frankel's likely to never be truly tested until he step's up against older horses. They say that great horses can run on any surface? Henry Cecil brought Twice Over to America in 2009 to try and win the Breeders Cup Classic. But IMO, if Cecil so chose to put Frankel on the conventional dirt at Churchill Downs? This horse would give him a much bigger chance of winning the Breeders Cup Classic than he had with Twice Over. With all of the better conventional dirt horses now retired, I.E., Zenyatta, Blame, Lookin At Lucky, and Quality Road, likely as not, Frankel would romp against what's left among the American hopeful's in this year's Classic. TJMO.

He romped at Royal-Ascot last season when he beat Klammer and the Epsom Derby 2nd, Treasure Beach, by a huge margin to win the G2 Juddmonte Royal Lodge Stakes. Frankel really is a freak of nature. One of those very special horses that comes along that a trainer is lucky to ever have one in a lifetime!! Frankel really is as advertised, and more!!

Frankel should Romp
