@negativeEV_@LFCJP72@David279623@RacingPost Exactly if one of them had more to give it was more likely Frankel as he won most of his races in a canter
STS was a great horse not knocking him but Frankel is the greatest
@ThegavmeisterG@negativeEV_@David279623@RacingPost Make stuff up to suit ur argument
Or was he always doing as much as he could
Will never know as he never put in a single performance that matched 4 or 5 of Frankels best
@LFCJP72@negativeEV_@David279623@RacingPost Except he didn’t beat better horses
That’s a myth STS fanboys put out
Cirrus Des Aigles
Nathaniel
Excelebration
Canford Cliffs
All destroyed by Frankel
@GrantlyAWheeler@FrankelWatch13 If they use Minnie as a pacemaker the game is gone, but wouldn’t happen, she will be ridden for her best chance, I’d say the drift is entirely down to Ryan choosing BC & thats down to future stud value for Coolmore, it maybe she won’t run. Love both but I think Minnie is better
@inman124@AtTheRaces If he was a mile + horse then bring him over here but we haven’t had a decent sprinter in years, he would destroy anything we have, he’ll also beat anything in Australia as well but at least that would be some sort of challenge He’s just a lot better than anything else out there
@MCYeeehaaa@parke65055@Southwell_Races Do we want to see him running in a run of the mill group 3 race or regaining his champion hurdle title, no brainer for me run him in the champion, if it doesn’t work then hopefully with him being healthy run him on the flat for a season or two
@parke65055@MCYeeehaaa@Southwell_Races Top group races ? Group 1’s I’d say no chance
A group 3 then maybe but the difference between a group 3 and a group 1 is massive and anyone saying he could win a group 1 is in cloud cuckoo territory
@racingblogger@AndrewNJHawkins@Tattersalls1766 Based on what ?
Via sistina won 1 group 1 in Uk & only got a higher rating than Barnavara as a 5 year old. Shes improving massively & is only a 3 year old. Deluding urself based on what Via has done in Australia since. Via got destroyed by Nashwa on one of her final runs here
@DCsportsvalue@maxcouch@oban890 I was 8
My dad was Irish & Monksfield fan & mum English & Night Nurse fan
Had a foot in each camp, paid to play along with both 😂 watching the pair of them was a great introduction to racing along with The Minstrel & Lester on the flat, great memories
@DCsportsvalue@maxcouch@oban890 Very much so
I was a Coe fan my brother Ovett and we would never agree on who was better & when you look back it doesn’t matter
Still look on them as the 2 best middle distance runners ever, the summer they were breaking each others world records each time they ran was crazy
@maxcouch@oban890 I’d say their peaks were different years, NN beat Monksfield he was at his peak & Monksfield beat NN it was his peak with NN having already won 2 CH & just on the way down
So I don’t think the “3/2” score really matters
Just the golden era of hurdlers & they were the very best 2
@maxcouch@oban890 Think you should include one of the other 4 meetings was a dead heat where night nurse was giving monksfield 6lb so id say that really should be classed as 2 from 5 & that Night Nurse has the higher official rating overall
But toss of a coin who was the better horse
@GrantlyAWheeler@FrankelWatch13 He’s won 3 races in his career
2 of them by 20l and 12l eased down
How has he not won more 🤷🏻♂️
Congratulations always a horse I’ve watched out for
@Lynda74258749@FrankelWatch13 Trainers will pull them out anytime they want, trainer pulled one out at Chester the other week because he didn’t like the draw and he gave that as the reason and it was accepted
AOB won’t run all 4, he’s covering himself for whatever the weather does
