Actually think he deserves his own thread now.
I hate hype horses but he is beyond a hype horse for me, absolutely amazing stuff.
Just asked Aidan to rename this one as you typed that, Gamla!!

Amazing
2000 Guineas 5/2
Derby 4/1
Treble Crown 20/1
Queally really didn't mind letting him win as far as he liked did he? I wonder might that encourage connections to put him away now for the season?
As I've said on the other thread, that performance from Frankel was as impressive as any that I've seen in over thirty years of following racing.
It was indeed extraordinary but I think ARAZI's acceleration in that Breeder's Cup Juvenile will also be up there for me as a truly amazing perfomrance by a 2yo. Not comparing the two, as there is absolutely no point in my opinion - just fantastic to see another star in the making.

Nothing will ever match Arazi as a spectacle...just unreal given all the circumstances.
Timeform are going 120 apparently
Be interesting to see the time against the QE2 if they go a good pace in that.
"Field"? A small token of two Listeds and three nothings! Get a grip, people: he carried 8-12 and did the mile in 41.73, POET'S VOICE carried 8-13 and did it in a far more impressive 39.76, which, if I'm not too far off, equates to him being around 10l superior at the finish. Yes, no doubt a super run, but come on! Reality check.

Yes,lets remember a certain St Nicholas Abbey!!
Believe 95% of what you see and 5% of what you hear - and thats very doubtful, that 5%!
I presume you mean 1 min 39.76s Kri? A mile in 39.76s would be impressive.
Even so, it's still impressive. A two year old should be about 1.1 seconds slower than a fully developed horse at this stage of his career at a mile, the pace also wasn't anywhere near as strong as in the QE2 so a crude comparison of the times is very misleading.
