Frankel: The Official Story
Frankel's perfect record speaks for itself. With 14 victories from as many starts, he has been described as the best racehorse of all time. The colt named in memory of the great American trainer Bobby Frankel amassed earnings of three million pounds in winning ten Group 1 races. He started favourite every time he ran, rewriting records with joyous abandon. From his virtuoso performance in the 2,000 Guineas to his breathtaking sequence of triumphs as a four-year-old, Frankel delivered one sensational performance after another in a career of remarkable consistency. It culminated on Champions Day at Ascot, the setting for an emotional farewell to a horse whose deeds touched so many people in all walks of life. Commissioned by Frankel's breeder, Juddmonte Farms Ltd, this programme features incredible behind-the-scenes footage from Warren Place as well as insightful interviews with members of Team Frankel, including trainer Sir Henry Cecil and jockey Tom Queally, and documents every one of Frankel's 14 victories in full. Frankel's achievements may never be matched. This is his official story, from the inside out.
